11 Q15 In what ways did you find the PKSB useful? Appraisal Mentoring Framework for planning training - ideas for areas to develop/ stretch goals etc Good as a measuring stick and good to plan future training and development Good benchmarking Helped me analyse my skills and identiy gaps Also to look at new skills required by my staff Highlights areas that I may wish to work on or improve my knowledge.

I am currentl undertaking my Certification so PKSB is useful for this I found it useful for highlighting areas for improvement and skills that I already have but hadn't recognised. It helped me plan activities for Certification and made the process more productive. I was able to self assess my skills using the framework and set myself targets to work towards so I could improve my skill set.

It made me think about the individual skills required in different areas and my development needs It was useful to help support KSF discussions. Mandate to work on areas I was interested in. Not sure. It took a long time to complete though Provided a clear structure of skills to help me identify my strengths and weaknesses Self assessment skills audit and good preparation for CILIP Mentoring with new regs. The PKSB helped me to focus on the areas in which I need to develop further and to see where I need to receive training. The gap analysis spreadsheet was very helpful. Page 11 of 28

Being given time occasionally in work to learn new skills or attend courses away from the demands of the job. Broad range of training to opt into buddy system for LQAF By continuing to be regularly consulted about training needs and encouraged to develop existing and new skills. By selecting a skill to focus on and asking line manager to support any training Catalogue skills based on the Heritage package Clearer guidance on what is expected and the right staff Consistent across the board training available to all Continued access to CPD opportunities Continued involvement in LIHHN activities sharing knowledge through the network. Continued mentoring and coaching with a trained /experieicned person who can provide personal one to one support (also being part of action learning set of other LKS managers) Delivering training and critical appraisal confidently Don't let resources for development disappear during financially straightened times, it is even more important then. Events with no cost to attend Financial support for training courses. Free or low-cost local workshops / training sessions Funding extra staff in the present economic climate Further development on report writing and summarising the evidence Given protected time to develop Given time to work on continuous professional development. Greater use of social media as part of training and communication so ensuring familiarity of use. Have dedicated study time I can't leave the office much so the development of online training would be helpful. I don`t have one. I have recently done a training course around using the word "support" less because it is a bit unclear what is meant, and I would say all to be realistic about expectations I solo work in a non-library setting so 'on the job training' or peer supported work is harder for me I would really welcome some training in managing e-resources! If my organisation received funding for 'off-the-job' training. I'm not the right person to ask about this as I will be retiring later this year. Improved ITC skills for presenting statistics and feedback information In making management courses or other kind of training on management available It would be helpful to learn how to think creatively about disseminating information to users Library management skills - ongoing buddying / mentoring and support external to my organisation. Locally delivered course in the north or north west. Online communities of practice to continue learning outside traditional approaches. Funding available for eductaional courses beyond traditional library qualifications, but still highly relevant to work e.g. CETAD management courses are funded for clinical staff, but not for support/administrative staff. Locally held courses orgainised by HCLU More autonomy More e based learning More e-learning in relevant topics such as statistical and analytical skills More formal training, leading to qualifications.

Any increased support they can receive would benefit all LKS staff and services in the region.
