This book, first published in 1993, features the perspectives of
library practitioners as well as other higher education
professionals on using innovative management techniques. The book
includes practical discussions of Total Quality Management, team
management, the impact of gender differences, managing an older
work force, and educational needs. Through this valuable book,
library administrators will find the best methods for adapting
management strategies to the major political upheaval, economic
reprioritizing, and organizational restructuring that has been
characteristic of this decade. They will benefit from the case
studies and practical overview from professionals who have already
experienced change in their own libraries. Some of the important
topics covered by the contributors include: fostering the
democratization of the workplace and the development of the staff
through empowerment; proactive, assertive, and collaborative roles
of libraries in the scholarly communication process; library
management education that prepares professionals both to anticipate
change and to bring about change in their institutions in response
to societal needs and shifts; managing the academic library through
teamwork; the possible impacts and implications of female
leadership on the library profession; organizational change in
research libraries; older workers in technical services; and using
the budget as a planning tool.
