Summary
If the arrival of a new employee seems more traumatic for seasoned staff than for the newcomer, then this manual may help alleviate some anxiety for all concerned. The author shares his expertise gained in the design and implementation of an orientation program for new employees at Indiana State University. Topics include developing a program's content and structure, selection of participants, possible problems, suggested activities and materials, and program evaluation. A variety of sample forms will encourage even the most hesitant of supervisors in their orientation efforts. Information gleaned from the field of personnel management is given practical application in the library setting. An excellent resource for any library supervisor involved with new employee orientation.
