This book provides a ‘no-nonsense’ guide to project management
which will enable library and information professionals to lead or
take part in a wide range of projects from large-scale
multi-organisation complex projects through to relatively simple
local ones. Barbara Allan has fully revised and updated her classic
2004 title Project Management to incorporate considerable
developments during the past decade, including: the development and
wide-scale acceptance of formal project management methodologies;
the use of social media to communicate and disseminate information
about projects and the large shift in the types of project library
and information workers may be involved in. The text is supported
by practical case studies drawn from a wide range of LIS
organizations at local, regional, national and international
levels. These examples provide an insight into good practice for
the practitioner, from an individual working in a voluntary
organization on an extremely limited budget, to someone involved in
an international project. Content covered includes: an introduction
to project management, project workers and the library and
information profession different approaches to project management,
the project cycle, the people side of projects and management of
