This paper examine and appraise the human resources and performance appraisal system; identify the effectiveness of the appraisal process and identify human resources and personnel in academic libraries, features and objectives of performance management and performance appraisal, and put forward ways of improving future performance appraisal and human resources performance in academic libraries.
