Background of the study: Library human resource management is a very important part of the continuity and development of librarians. The librarian must have a constructive and dynamic concept of thinking so that the role that is raised is the result of a structured implementation. Through his work, Lasa HS has succeeded in formulating this theory in his book "Library Human Resource Management" which has close analysis with Richard E. Rubin's "Human Resource Management in Libraries Theory and Practice". Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the perspective of human resource management in the Lasa HSlibrary on one of Richard E Rubin's works entitled Human Resource Management in Libraries Theory and Practice. Method: Through a library research approach (library research) which is supported by interviews Findings: Research results show that there is a relevance of the theory proposed by Lasa HS to the work of Richard. E Rubin in the aspect of measuring the performance of human resources. Conclusion: It can be concluded that through the books that have been written, both have explained the theory in a structured manner with the dynamics of different cultural approaches so that they complement each other in providing reviews on library human resource management.

“…The Employer? Knight (2015) argued that regardless of the challenges, supervisors must be able to meet the needs of the individual staff to cater for enhancement in skill sets.

“…Another school of thought by Walton (as cited in Knight, 2015) suggested an alternative approach to professional development and personal growth. They posited that professional development and personal growth can be acquired through a collaborative venture between the Administrators and the employees with the employee being integrally involved at all levels of deliberations on the path they will be required to take.…”

“…The combined responsibility as proposed by Walton (as cited in Knight, 2015) seems to suggest that given the benefits of professional development to both the organisation and the employees, the task becomes twofold. On one hand, for the individual, continuous acquisition of new information and skills lead to job competencies resulting in performance upgrade and upward mobility; while on the other hand, the organisation benefits from a highly skilled labour force.…”

“…To better achieve these goals necessitates the acquisition of new skills and proficiencies and the updating of old ones by the library professionals. However, Knight (2015) noted that the organisation, must ensure that the Human Resource Development (HRD) plays an integral role in the main business processes if it is to accomplish a competitive business strategy. Making Human Resource Development an important aspect of the Library's processes will benefit both the Library and the Library professionals.…”

This article provides an assessment of the pathways Librarians at the University of Guyana Library (UGL) explored to achieve continual learning for professional growth and self-development.The writers adopted a survey method to capture data from sixteen senior professionals from the University of Guyana Library. The findings revealed that while the University of Guyana Administration provided some avenues for professional growth and development for all professionals, there were some areas that required a more structured and equitable approach. The findings indicated that much more can be done to facilitate growth and development for senior Library professionals, particularly in the field of Librarianship. From the discussions, the researchers concluded that in spite of the limited access to available resources, Library senior professionals actively pursued alternative avenues to enhance and advance learning. This was intended to acquire current knowledge and practice so that they may provide a higher quality of service to their clientele; further, their experience (in the process) will assist in enhancing their professional development and personal growth.

Human resource development is currently as an important strategic approach to improved productivity, efficiency and profitability. However, the level of human resource development which should be the central driving force in the achievement of organisational goals and economic development in Ghana is not encouraging and should be given the needed boost by building the knowledge, skills, working abilities and innate capacities of all the people across the society. This study therefore examines the potential contributions of human resource development to organisations in Ghana in order to make recommendations that will ensure that the required human resource needs are provided. To do this, Asuogyaman District Assembly was selected as a case study. Both primary and secondary data were collected and analyzed. The study found out that 72.5% of staff in the organisation was involved in a training programme. Most staff occasionally had their training needs assessed. Performance management/appraisal and human resource planning are promoted. Human resource development contributes to increased productivity and builds manpower abilities. Based on the findings, it is recommended among others things that; all organisations should establish a human resource development policy that will encourage systematic learning, performance and change as a means to increase productivity.
