The book use case studies gleaned from TODAY’S library world to help students take analytical approaches to library problems. Much research points to the fact that students are more inductive than deductive reasoners. Therefore, books like this which provide actual examples to explore and think about are far more useful than many of the existing texts which start with theory and basic principles. Case studies are often used in business, law, and medical schools. This book will facilitate instructors pushing want students to explore how what they have learned applies to real world situations. Cases are organized in six sections that parallel basic library management functions: Planning Organizing Leading Controlling Staffing Communicating Each section features case studies , each with the case description and three responses from library leaders from a wide variety of library types and sizes. Library Management Problems Today: Case Studies will allow students to put themselves in the center of actual library problems and ask “What would I do?”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public libraries must function in a time of limited funding, increasing technology, and shifting demographics and client needs. To fulfill their role, libraries must manage change through effective planning. This book analyzes case studies of planning at several representative libraries, illustrating how formal planning procedures are adapted to changing circumstances. The study is based primarily on interviews with staff members at each site, drawing wherever possible on their own words and on related documents and surveys. The heart of the book is a set of narrative descriptions of the planning process at various representative libraries. Additional chapters draw on this material to evaluate the planning process and its organization, the planning documents produced, the social aspects of planning, and the benefits of the process. The volume looks at how planning evolved at each site, the kinds of problems encountered and how they were solved, and the effects of planning on the organization. The book emphasizes the complexity of planning, the variety of perspectives held by staff members, and the relationship between planning and the library's local environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Massive technological change has been impacting universities and university libraries in recent years. Such change has manifested in technological developments impacting all areas of academic library activity, including systems, services, collections, the physical library environment, marketing, and support for university teaching, learning, research, and administration. Many books and papers have examined these changes from a technical perspective. However, there is little substantive reflection on what technological change means, and how best to get out in front of it, for the academic library. Technology, Change and the Academic Library systematically reflects on technological innovation, the successes, failures and lessons learned, the nature, process and culture of change, and key aspects including impacts on library staff and users, roles and responsibilities, and skills and capabilities. The book takes an international perspective on the massive change currently affecting academic libraries. The title gives an overview and literature review, considers technological innovation and change management, future technologies and future change, and provides information on further reading. Case studies describe the rationale, aims, and objectives for particular technological innovations, and consider methods, outcomes, and recommendations for the future. Finally, the book reflects back on how technological change can best be wrought in academic libraries. Gives library managers and librarians insight into how best to identify, plan, and implement technological innovation Provides a wide-ranging overview, literature review, and a series of reflective case studies on technological innovation in libraries Emphasises current trends, lessons, and critical issues for putting technological innovation into place Offers an international perspective on technological innovation in the academic library Uses a critical methodology to reflect on what works, what does not, and how managers can apply lessons from real cases worldwide

Book excerpt: THIS TEACHES ACADEMIC LIBRARY MANAGERS TO HANDLE CRUCIAL DECISIONS, DIFFICULT ISSUES, SENSITIVE INTERACTIONS. Weber uses a variety of management tasks, issues, and leadership experiences to teach administrative lessons. Detailed workplace actions in two university library systems give practical help today for those with managerial responsibilities. Here are ethical, legal, honesty, and judgment errors. Other more subtle and far-reaching critical challenges are hiring misjudgments, tactlessness, loyalty lost, instances of wrong language, initiative taken by error, context misread, self-analysis, as well as delegation, social spirit, performance recognition, relationship sensitivity, teamwork, each being judged within its own administrative circumstances. The administrative and interpersonal issues addressed are found in any sizable library, whether commercial, non-profit, institutional, or governmental. The book concludes with a broad view of the modern research library scene with chapters on the forces of constant change, the values of humanistic personal qualities, and the necessity of lifelong learning. One University Librarian critiquing this book states: - "What you write is the summation of your personal, professional experiences over a long and distinguished career. You have written a unique work that is unlike any I've ever seen in library administration. In it you generously share with fellow administrators and aspiring colleagues the complete span of your experience. You've written a friendly, intimate dialogue; you share your defeats as well as your victories. You provide many specifics. It is as if you were chatting, one on one with an aspiring colleague or reminiscing with an old friend."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using database-driven web pages or web content management (WCM) systems to manage increasingly diverse web content and to streamline workflows is a commonly practiced solution recognized in libraries to-day. However, limited library web content management models and funding constraints prevent many libraries from purchasing commercially available WCM systems. And, the lack of much needed technical expertise in building in-house WCM systems presents a great challenge for libraries of all types. Content and Workflow Management for Library Websites: Case Studies provides practical and applicable web content management solutions through case studies. It contains successful database-to-web applications as employed in a variety of academic libraries. The applications vary in scope and cover a range of practical how-to-do-it examples from database-driven web development, locally created web content management systems, systems for distributing content management responsibilities, dynamic content delivery, to open source tools, such as MySQL and PHP to manage the content. Issues and challenges associated with the development process are discussed. Authors will also discuss detours, sand traps, and missteps necessary to a real learning process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A considerable variety of information for libraries planning materials selection policies is relayed in reviews of the relevant literature and in case studies of typical special, public, academic, and school libraries. The case studies consider the location and size of each library as well as its budget, organizational chart, and materials selection procedure. In all, a good collection, well organized and easy to use. Actual collection develpment policies are appended, along with bibliography and index. Booklist As an outgrowth of the author's discovery that very little material exists discussing how to develop a library collection, this book seeks to identify how some experienced selectors think while deciding to buy, not buy, or discard materials from their collections. While subject areas or types of materials for which selectors are responsible may be vastly different, the author found that all selectors do collection development in the same way, and consider the same types of issues and problems in their decision-making process. The book, then, is designed to help librarians identify this process and understand the theoretical as well as practical aspects of building collections. Based on information gathered over a period of six years in research at academic, public, school, and special libraries, the book will be just as valuable to experienced practitioners of collection development as it will be to students and newcomers to the field. The first section discusses decision making and collection development, including general trends, theories and literature, and organizational administration. The second section provides case studies of four different types of libraries: public, school, academic, and special. Each type is represented by studies of four specific libraries, with a summary concluding each set of libraries. Finally, a third section draws conclusions based on the case studies, covering dynamic factors affecting the decision-making process as well as the process itself. The book concludes with a group of appendices, a bibliography, and an index. This important work will be an essential reference source for courses in library science and for working librarians in all types of institutions, as well as a valuable addition to college, university, and public libraries.
