Inhaltsangabe

Here is a stimulating exploration of the key issues confronting library managers and leaders in the changing environment of today's research libraries. Within the framework of the changing environment and diminishing resources base, contributing authors address the challenges that librarians face as libraries reengineer to meet the needs of patrons while struggling to stay afloat. The Dynamic Library Organizations in a Changing Environment discusses organizational processes, strategies, and structures, exploring ways in which dynamic organizations must change in order to provide effective services into the future.

The Dynamic Library Organizations in a Changing Environment combines research and practical advice to help advance theory and practice. Thought-provoking chapters discuss:

• new forms of leadership in the electronic age
• ways to recognize and manage multiple organizational approaches
• new paradigms for structuring the academic library organization of the future
• the concept of cost of quality in the library environment
• ways in which libraries must respond to be competitive and avoid closing their doors
• new approaches for planning efficient academic library facilities
  
  Professionals will find much practical information in this book as they face similar issues in their own institutions. Aimed at practicing library managers and leaders, this scholarly volume is also a valuable resource for advanced management seminars or courses.
