Findings – The information and structure provided for development of a training program has had proven results.
Practical implications – This information will require action on the part of libraries interested in gaining this advantage.
Originality/value – These proven methods and steps can increase a library's case when seeking to justify allocation of resources and will add value to the organization as it serves its primary clientele.
