The Smathers Libraries Staff Competencies Training Matrix
The Smathers Libraries Staff Competencies Training Matrix is an online tool designed with the following two objectives:
- To facilitate access to, and usability of the Libraries Staff Core Competencies Index.
- To assist employees and supervisors in identifying training opportunities, inside and outside the Libraries, targeting specific competencies.
With this online tool, employees, supervisors and hiring managers have access to the Staff Core Competencies Index in a format that allows for greater ease in navigating competency categories, families and levels. Competencies are also matched with available training resources to help employees meet specific competency expectations.

It is important to note that not all competencies will be cultivated via traditional training approaches. Certain competencies are best and more economically addressed through on-line tutorials, procedures manuals, job aids, checklists, on-the-job training and other methods identified for relaying information needed for maximum performance.

Note:
A classification system tied to evolving position descriptions is clearly not a static document and will require updating as library assistant and associate jobs within the UF Libraries change. The intention is for this document to be reviewed on a regular basis under the management of Smathers Libraries Human Resources Department personnel.
