“…As with other areas of the CLO function, few libraries have taken the strategic approach to learning outlined by Saarti and Juntunen (2011). Rather, we might argue that the field has broadly taken a "competency" based approach to professional development (Smith et al, 2013;Harhai and Krueger, 2016). While such approaches may provide administrators with a clear set of learning objectives and a clear path for measuring outcomes, it falls short of the strategic work a CLO brings to learning, particularly the CLO's task of translating situationally and temporally specific business goals into the learning objectives needed to meet them by staff members in various stages of development.…”
