Managing Cultural Change in Public Libraries argues that changes to
library Strategies and Systems can lead to transformations in
library Structures that can, in turn, shape and determine
Organisational Culture. Drawing on Management theories, as well as
the ideas of Marx and Maslow, the authors present an ambitious
Analytical Framework that can be used to better understand, support
and enable cultural change in public libraries. The volume argues
for radical - but sustainable - transformations in public libraries
that require significant changes to Strategies, Structures, Systems
and, most importantly, Organisational Culture. These changes will
enable Traditional Libraries to reach out beyond their current
active patrons to engage with new customer groups and will also
enable Traditional Libraries to evolve into Community-Led
Libraries, and Community-Led Libraries to become Needs-Based
Libraries. Public libraries must be meaningful and relevant to the
communities they serve. For this to happen, the authors argue, all
sections of the local community must be actively involved in the
planning, design, delivery and evaluation of library services. This
book demonstrates how to make these changes happen, acting as a
blueprint and road map for organisational change and putting ideas
into action through a series of case studies. Managing Cultural
Change in Public Libraries will be of particular interest to
academics and advanced students engaged in the study of library and
information science. It should also be essential reading for
practitioners and policymakers and all those who believe that
communities should be involved and engaged in the planning, design,
delivery, and evaluation of library services.
