Book excerpt: Through her unique perspective the author provides insight into the many different areas of expertise that are required in a good manager.

The aspiring manager, or one recently promoted to management, will benefit from the sage advice offered for these and many other situations that arise from the new responsibilities of being a manager.

This book provides the recognition and the processes for success.

Download or read book The Perception of Library Directors of Color in Academic Libraries Concerning Their Connection Between Their Time as Middle Managers and Their Ability to Advance Into Senior Library Leadership Positions written by Kimberley L. Bugg and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this dissertation is to contribute the body of managerial leadership focused library and information science literature (LIS) concerning the advancement of people of color. Although, the LIS profession has made great efforts toward increasing diversity among librarians, the bulk of these efforts are focused on recruitment into entry level positions. Further, there is no evidence to suggest that these efforts have impacted diversity in the ranks and especially in library leadership positions where diversity is critically low. This study explore the topic by focusing on the experiences and habits of those few librarians of color who fill our senior leadership positions. The major objectives are to understand: 1) Why librarians of color decide to go into middle management and how does that occur? 2) Which experiences influence librarians of color interest in library leadership? 3) Why librarians of color decide to advance beyond middle manager? Twelve library directors, who self-identified as African-American, Hispanic, and Asian-American, participated in face-to-face or telephone interviews that adhered the narrative inquiry structure. Narrative inquiry is a qualitative method that asks study participants to recall and share specific events in their life-story, referred to as critical incidents. The critical incidents are then re-storied around major themes related to the topic. This study focused on the three phrases of middle management: becoming a middle manager, working as a middle manager, and advancing beyond middle manager. Following data collection, the stories were transcribed, coded, and 10 themes emerged. The findings suggest that the habits of library directors of color who are successful at advancing include: demonstrating leadership and initiative early in their career; participating in leadership institutes; connecting with individuals who can assist with their advancement later; and developing a support system for coping with adversity. Because, position promotion from middle manager to senior library leader requires a great deal of connection to others in addition to professional expertise and qualification there is some opportunity for libraries to support and encourage advancement for librarians of color; particularly in the form of explicit and effective mentorships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most professional librarians, even recent graduates, manage something, whether it be a project, service, department, or a whole library. This book explains the different managerial roles at libraries, looking at the levels of managers, what they do, and how they do it. The goal is to explore the unique challenges faced by different types of library managers, in order to prepare early and mid-career librarians to step into new roles, and to think about how they might progress toward upper-management in a library. The approach is practice-driven, with a particular focus on the soft skills that are needed to be successful as a manager. Library Management: A Practical Guide for Librarians features three parts: project management, middle management, and upper management. These sections cover the different kinds of challenges that face people at each level of their career, exploring how these challenges can help prepare librarians for promotion to the next level. The purpose of these sections is to show how management skills develop over the course of one’s career, and to explore how leaders changes from context to context. Though each section focuses on a particular level of authority, the lessons can be useful for and applied to all of the levels discussed. For example, the same librarian might fill different roles in different contexts. A dean might serve as a library’s executive, but also manage a university-wide project or a middle manager might step into the role of dean temporarily, or might wonder what the next level of management would require.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing Change in Academic Libraries helps academic librarians plan, implement, and manage changes to the fundamental structure of their organizations. It shows readers that in academic libraries the two driving forces behind most change are economics and technology. Declines in funding for education and in the purchasing power of libraries have made it impossible to maintain the status quo, let alone realize growth, in traditional information services and collection development. Add to this downward trend in library economics, the explosion of new information technology and its potential for radically altering communications and knowledge management, and one has the ingredients for some amazing changes in libraries. To help manage these many changes, chapters in Managing Change in Academic Libraries approach change with a mixture of radical and rational ideas. Readers learn academic librarians’views on dealing with change as they read about: an environmental scan which identifies both internal and external forces that are increasing the amount and scope of change in academic libraries technological change and its impact in academic libraries the academic library director’s role as an agent of change how two large library systems managed to change in some very fundamental ways when faced with serious economic and political challenges difficult personnel issues faced by academic libraries as they move into new organizational structures and adopt new management styles the future of traditional reference services in light of rapid developments in computing and networking how to change bibliographic control to better serve the changing expectations and needs of user communities conducting a restructuring study and recommendations for organizational change in a large research library system Each chapter shows academic librarians how they can respond imaginatively and nimbly to economic, political, and technological change that envelopes their professional work life. Academic librarians will refer to Managing Change in Academic Libraries again and again as a survival tool as they meet with challenging and unpredictable changes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Providing perspectives of early- and mid-career librarians as well as highly seasoned professionals, this book offers leadership advice that will help academic librarians of all experience levels to surmount the issues they face and overcome new challenges. Academic libraries and librarianship have dramatically evolved in recent years—in everything from their collections and facilities to their relationships with faculty and internal and external partners. These changes demand different mindsets and new skills on the part of librarians. This book explains how the quality of leadership is the key component of successfully implementing innovative service and practices—and as a result, of the success of the library itself. To that end, it offers practical guidelines for implementing leadership principles and achieving success in this evolving culture. Coedited by a team of three highly experienced academic librarians, Leading in the New Academic Library gives actionable advice regarding subjects like helping staff gain new competencies, leading from the middle, and succession planning. The content also addresses hot topics such as the academic library's new role, the integration of IT into library organization and infrastructure, making data-driven decisions, renovating a library space to meet changing user needs, and collaborating with internal as well as external partners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Associate university librarians are charged with running the various services and workflows of academic research libraries allowing head university librarians to focus on acquiring resources through fundraising and external public relations. Although the positions of assistant or associate university librarian and dean are considered a training ground for upward movement in the profession, there are surprisingly few mentoring experiences available. The Associate University Librarian Handbook: A Resource Guide fills that gap. Bradford Lee Eden has brought together a variety of helpful topics for university librarians. The first section of the book provides a broad overview of the field and what it means to be an associate librarian. A section on managing change, a topic endemic to the academic library in these times, follows. The next section deals with funding the library enterprise and managing resources, with chapters on budget reductions, cultivating donors and donor relations, and managing a research function. The fourth section covers career management and includes chapters on navigating the transition to university librarian. A concluding section deals with leadership and defining the future. Intended for both those in the position of associate university librarian and for those aspiring to get there, The Associate University Librarian Handbook is a valuable tool and guide. Book jacket.
