Hey!
Is the Library Staff Organization going to have a picnic this
year? Hope so.
Hoper
Dear Hoper and Staff Organization members,
A staff picnic is a good suggestion. Since the planning of
a reception for retirees will be our chief task this spring, how-
ever, the officers would like to defer plans for a picnic until
the fall. At that time, provided staff members are interested, we
will consider plans for a picnic.

PRECIS (PREserved Context Index System), the British computer·aided
subject indexing system, will be presented for the first time to
American librarians in a workshop at the University of Maryland
15-17 October 1976. The system has been used in Great Britain since
1971, and is also used extensively in Australia, Canada, France and
Scandinavia. It is based on universal gram itical structures and
is therefore essentially independent of the vocabulary of any specific
natural language, according to its developers. Cost for workshop
is $100.
A piece from March 1976 - BITS & PIECES - ‘ _
A man walked into a drugstore and entered a phone booth. "Hello,
Allied Manufacturing? . . . Mr. Frederickson, please . . . Mr.
Frederickson, I understand you have an opening in your firm for an
office manager . . . Oh, I see. You hired a new man six months ago
and you're very happy with him. Very well, thanks anyway."
The druggist approached the man as he left the phone booth. "I
couldn't help overbearing your conversation," he said. "I'm sorry
they didn't have an opening."
"Oh," replied the man, smiling. "I'm not really looking for a job.
That was my boss, and I'm his office manager. I was just checking
to see how I'm doing."
The best way to get the performance you want out of your people is
to let them know how they're doing without having to ask. If they
are doing something wrong, don't wait six months to tell them. And
if your're pleased with their work, tell them--immediately!
Most good companies have a policy of reviewing their employees'
performance and prospects at regular intervals. This is a sound
practice. It assures people that, at certain periodic intervals,
they'll know where they stand. u

 ¤  
§ It's a poor substitute, however, for a leader who lets people know
A ixngthey are doing day by day, and week by week. Too many "bosses"
shirk.their.responsibilities in this area. _
y It isn't pleasant to criticize subordinates--that's why so many ti·' ‘
managers tend to put it off or forget it. Nevertheless, when people
need guidance, it's the manager's job to give it to them. The
leader who doesn't is letting them down-- and the company as well.
when you're dissatisfied with someone's performance, it simply isn't
fair not to tell the person immediately. If people don't know what
they?re_doing‘wrong,`how can they improve?
And how can you possibly know, for sure, that it's really their fault?
Perhaps they didn't understand exactly what you wanted. Or perhaps
there were extenuating circumstances you don't even know about that
prevented them from doing the job. Unless you discuss the matter wit?
them, how can you tell?
When you're dissatisfied with a person's work in any respect, don't
just brood about it, and donft just give that person a black mark _-.» _
· in your mental notebook. Communicate! Call the person in and discuss
it. Let that person know you're dissatisfied, and find out exactly
what's preventing the kind of performance you expect. g l
U You don't have to be unpleasant about it, or pound the table. All-
·you have to do is tell the person honestly what you don't like, and
see if the fault can be corrected. You may even find, if you ;?,,_
investigate the situation honestly, that you are partly to blame _C
yourself. If so, let's hope you're big enough to admit it! "
A good leader reacts-—immediately and continuousLy~to good·work°as
well as bad. People don't have to wait six months or a year to find
out how they are doing. If they're in line for a promotion--or in
danger of being.fired--no formal hearing is necessary to break the
news. They know it already. _U,,
