Abstract: Talent management is typically known as a human resources term, and sometimesthe perception is that it all happens in a different building or with other people involved. That shouldn't be the case; today's academic library should be very invested in how the principles of talent management are applied and how they affect the library organization, both currently and with future strategies in mind.Talent management is defined as a set of procedures and processes and development of organizational cultural norms that are used to assess, recruit, deploy, and retain the talent and skill sets needed to successfully run and strategically grow any organization. For the past twenty years, libraries have undergone tremendous change in service models, technology enhancements, and patron expectations, which affects the skills and competencies needed by library staff. Academic libraries are also expected to keep up with their home institution's needs for skills and talent in order to support the institution's education mission.
