Abstract

The purpose of this study is to investigate the workplace learning among the library professionals in university libraries in Kerala. Structured questionnaires were employed to collect data from a representative sample of 100 library professionals from the central libraries of the University of Kerala, Mahatma Gandhi University, and University of Calicut. The analysis shows that majority of the library professionals are engaged in workplace learning. It is found that formal learning methods contribute much for workplace learning in the libraries. The library professionals engage in workplace learning to keep them up-to-date. Most of the professionals are self motivated and they acquire the skills for digital library development through these learning interventions.
