Librarian professionals and support staff are more important than ever, and there are a number of helpful websites that bring together web-based materials designed for just such persons. One such site is the online Library Support Staff Resource Center, created and maintained by the American Library Association. Organized as an extended set of links and in-house resources, visitors can scroll through the materials, which are divided into such topics that offer insights into the future of these professions and even more "hands-on" resources, such as a link to online journals designed specifically for library support staff members. Other pragmatic resources offered here include lists of key competencies and training techniques for those who might be leading professional development seminars or continuing education sessions in this field.
