Abstract

The article discusses how libraries have become a source for guidance to people who are seeking jobs, and what libraries can do to help workers acquire skills needed for the labor market in the 21st century. A 2010 study from the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) reports increased library use, especially use of library computers and instruction since the economic downturn. Also discussed are the ways libraries meet the educational needs of a workforce which has lifelong learning as a goal. INSETS: Landscape of the 21st-Century Workforce;Project Compass.
