On Coping with High Staff Turnover at a Research Library (University of Houston Libraries)
Michelle Boule, who joined the University of Houston Libraries in September 2004, has written an interesting posting about coping with the high turnover rate at that library, where: "In the past year and a half, over half of the librarians and all of the staff (except one) in my department have left, for various reasons, including all three of our managers."
While your library is unlikely to be experiencing a turnover rate as high as the UH Libraries, she offers some good advice on riding the turbulent waves of change that are useful in less severe situations.
