In today’s world organization administration has a confrontation of rapid social change. Hence, one of the most important responsibilities of the organization is environmental adaptation for happily surviving among such competitive society. Human Resource Development is an on –going systematization of development plan for increasing library personnel’s efficiency and capabilities. Consequently, organization must be on the alert to carry out implemental programes of fostering institutional human resource development in terms of :
- Formulate HR plan
- Identify necessary capabilities
- Carry out succession planning
- Assess development needs
- Conduct development planning-job-site, off site
- Evaluate development success
However, HRD has more comprehensive meaning than attending academic seminar as well. NLT realizes its social status as knowledge resources of the nation. As a matter of fact that library service is vital function of the institute and library personnels themselves, who render library resources towards users. They have inevitably been the target of HRD plan of NLT so far.
On 21-23 February 2007, NLT, by Library Standard and Resource Group, organized a seminar entitled "Characteristic Development and Public Speaking Techniques" at Thravaravadi Resort Hotel, Prachineburi, province.
