crl-14535	Dewey, Barbara I.	A Practical Methodology for the Study of Job Components and Staffing Needs	1990	6	.pdf	application/pdf	3672	151	42	Current job activities and levels were examined, and staff were asked to indicate how the activities making up their positions might change over the next three to five years-the time period for the full implementation of OASIS, the automated library system of the University of Iowa Libraries. The literature did not reveal specific methodologies that would accommodate all of the elements needed for the Iowa study, which were (1) discrete task analy- sis for each position in the library system; (2) an ability to analyze the effectiveness or efficiency of each activity; (3) a way to determine how each activity might change over a specific length of time under de- fined environmental conditions, i.e., im- plementation of a library automation sys- tem; and (4) the opportunity to examine individual activities from both the individ- ual and systemwide perspectives.	cache/crl-14535.pdf	txt/crl-14535.txt
