The library as intergenerational workplace Available to Purchase

The paper seeks to understand typical generational values and traits that can help facilitate a more collegial environment and more goal‐oriented directed behaviour, especially as mixed generational groups work together in libraries.

The paper takes the form of a literature review and provides suggestions to bridge the generation gap.

Although there may be differences between generations, they all have similar values. It is the behaviours that go along with those values that may be different.

The paper stresses the value of being sensitive to the strengths and differences that all staff members have no matter what their age.
