Library Competency Index

Competency Index for the Library Field Compiled by WebJunction Web Junction Institute of Museum and Library Services

 

WebJunction developed in 2014, a compilation of competency statements that address a broad spectrum of library service and practice.

Three elements, in particular, have been emphasized throughout 21st-century skills, accountability, and community engagement.

WebJunction intends for the Index to be widely shared and adapted by a variety of libraries to meet their individual needs. Please feel free to download the PDF (3.3 MB) as a whole or the Word version for remixing as you see fit.

Competencies continue to be a work-in-progress. Please tell us how you’re using them in your work. Use the comments area below or send feedback to info (at) webjunction.org.

WebJunction builds the knowledge, skills and confidence of library staff to power strong libraries that are the heart of vibrant communities. A program of OCLC Research, WebJunction is free and welcome to all libraries to use, regardless of size, type or location.

Since it’s launch in 2003, WebJunction has helped more than 80,000 library staff build the knowledge, skills and confidence they need to deliver transformational services to their communities.
