This book explains the concept of adding value and shows staff at
libraries and other organizations why they need to take steps now
to ensure they are adding new value to their communities-whether it
be a local town or neighborhood, a faculty and student body, or a
school. Value is at the core of every organization's purpose.
Without value, organizations die. Libraries-as well as museums,
archives, and galleries-have traditionally added value to their
communities through their collections and services, but yesterday's
collections and services are no longer enough. In order to remain
sustainable, today's libraries, archives, museums, and galleries
must explore new ways to add value that resonate in the lives of
their customers. This unique book explains how addressing the "5
C's" of adding value-content, context, connection, collaboration,
and community-enables organizations to find new ways to invigorate
their services, better serve their communities, and thrive today
and tomorrow. It addresses adding value in the context of other key
topics, such as crowdsourcing, embedded librarianship, makerspaces,
self publishing, and repurposing spaces. Filled with charts,
tables, screenshots, and other visual representation, this is a
useful and provocative guide that anyone interested in vesting in
the successful future of libraries, archives, and museums needs to
read. Helps managers and administrators create long-range plans for
sustainability and growth Offers real-life models of libraries that
have successfully implemented concepts of the value-added
organization Fills a gap in the literature as the only book written
specifically for librarians on the topic of adding value Presents
important information and guidance for those who work in all types
of libraries, archives, and museums as well as administrators,
board members, and other stakeholders who are interested in the
future of these vital community resources Includes color charts,
website screenshots, and other visual representations that clarify
key concepts and points
