Abstract

According to the research, the library needs a thorough human resource development (HRD) plan that provides a variety of training and education opportunities and aligns with its mission and strategic goals. Regardless of geography or position, the research provides a flexible, inclusive, and approachable method for all library staff. In addition, it needs to promote professional growth, diversity, equality, and inclusion in library operations and services, as well as lifelong learning. It is advisable to conduct a needs assessment to ascertain the HR development needs of academic library workers. Make a comprehensive HRD strategy with seminars, webinars, conferences, mentorship programmes, and online courses based on this evaluation. The effectiveness of the HR development strategy should be evaluated, and chances for innovation and improvement should be suggested, using data and analytics. It’s also advised to have a positive, encouraging work environment that values the contributions and well-being of library employees. The study comes to the conclusion that state university libraries in Bihar, India, require a thorough and well-thought-out HRD plan. Investing in HR development can help academic libraries attract and retain staff, enhance the quality of their services, and promote the academic and research missions of their respective institutions. It is common knowledge that human capital actively develops every aspect of society. Human resource efficiency affects all other resources. HRD seeks to create a psychologically supportive environment and to inspire professionals. Over time, it also reduces production costs in a lot of businesses and organisations. HRD encourages cooperation and lessens hostility between individuals, organisations, and corporate leadership.
