Inhaltsangabe

What does successful academic library management look like in the real world? A team of editors, all administrators at large research libraries, here present a selection of case studies which dive deeply into the subject to answer that question. Featuring contributions from a range of practicing academic library managers, this book spotlights case studies equally useful for LIS students and current managers; touches upon such key issues as human resource planning, public relations, financial management, organizational culture, and ethics and confidentiality; examines how to manage radical change, using project management methodology to reorganize technical services, creating a new liaison service model, advancing a collaborative future, and setting up on-the-spot mentoring; discusses digital planning for archives and special collections; rejects one size fits all solutions to common challenges in academic libraries in favor of creative problem solving; and provides guidance on how to use case studies as effective models for positive change at one s own institution.LIS instructors, students, and academic library practitioners will all find enrichment from this selection of case studies.
