Taking a staff-led approach, this book helps libraries of all types
create their own meaningful and authentic strategic plans while
demystifying a process that can bring many benefits to the
organization. With dwindling budgets to pay for consultants and a
growing interest in collaboration across the organization,
libraries are increasingly taking a do-it-yourself approach to
strategic planning. This book takes a step-by-step approach to
grassroots strategic planning for libraries of all types. The
authors, who led a successful strategic planning process at their
own library, provide practical advice and detailed information to
guide library personnel through their own process. Topics include
aligning with institutional and community values, creating vision
and mission statements, researching stakeholder needs, conducting
environmental scans, collaborative drafting of the plan,
communication strategies, and implementation and assessment of the
plan. Each chapter helps librarians create a strategic plan for a
broad spectrum of libraries, including K–12, post-secondary,
public, and special libraries. A unique feature of the book is its
emphasis on the ways in which different library types can
collaborate to meet shared goals. This book is a one-stop-shop,
providing everything library staff will need to create a strategic
plan without searching for additional sources. Understand the
components of a strategic plan Learn steps to complete a staff-led
strategic planning process Learn specific skills to conduct
environmental and stakeholder research to support the planning
process Learn approaches to workshop and write the plan with
colleagues Understand how to build communication, transparency,
accountability, and assessment into the plan
