Library Support Staff Certification Program Recruits Portfolio Evaluators<br>
<br>
The Library Support Staff Certification (LSSC) Program is recruiting librarians
to evaluate online portfolios. You can learn more about how
to become a portfolio evaluator and how evaluation works on Monday, June 28
from 1:30 to 3:30 at the Grand Hyatt, Roosevelt-Wilson Room. <br>
<br>
Portfolios will be evaluated by librarians who meet the following criteria:
a master’s degree in library science or in an area related to the
competency set; experience in teaching, training, or writing in areas related
to the competency set; or significant (more than five years preferred) of
on-the-job experience in an area related to competency set. <br>
<br>
The LSSC Program began accepting applications for candidacy on January 25th.
To be certified, candidates must achieve six of 10 competency sets.
Candidates can achieve these competency sets through participation in an
approved course or by submitting an online portfolio. The ten
competency sets are: Foundations of Library Service; Communication and
Teamwork; Technology; Access Services; Adult Readers Advisory Services;
Cataloging and Classification; Collection Management; Reference and Information
Services; Supervision and Management; and Youth Services.<br>
<br>
LSSC Project Co-Director Nancy Bolt says: “Many of our LSSC candidates
are already busily preparing portfolios. Now we need qualified librarians
to assess those portfolios and advise the LSSC Program if the candidate should
be given credit. This is a critical aspect of LSSC and we hope librarians will
share their expertise with us.”<br>
<br>
