About

This new course is aimed at mid-management leaders at LIBER academic libraries. It is designed for 20 managers who are either starting out or are already in leadership positions in their institutions and who are looking ahead at developing their leadership skills in what sometimes is described as “the toughest job in the library”.

Benefits of the Mid-management Leaders Course:

Completing the course will be a benefit not only to you, as an individual, but also to your library. Research libraries are subject to constant change and transformation, and this programme helps library staff to be well-equipped to deal with whatever new challenges are on their way in the role as middle managers.
