There is a Wonderful "Short" to the point
Article from AALLnet's Spectrum, Nov. 1998 issue
Marketing Your Support Staff
An excerpt:
"Second, we market our support staff personnel by rewarding them.
We treat non-librarians as librarian equals.
If we procure new equipment or furniture then those purchases
are distributed equitably.
Consideration is given to support staff positions
whenever salary increases or reclassification upgrades occur.
There is no room for a caste system within a library setting.
Library technicians can be rewarded by giving them
the proper recognition and praise that they deserve.
No one shines unless someone shines the light... "

And speaking of procuring "new equipment" or furniture..
"You" should be involved in "the design process"
We ALL spend a great deal of our lives sitting at a desk. Read this article from Searcher - Dec. 2000 v. 8 (10)
