Are librarians and libraries relevant in the 21st century? This is
a fundamental question and one that presents differing opinions
across the many diverse information sectors. If there is a
continuing need for libraries and for librarians, then how do
library leaders obtain strategic support when there appears to be a
lack of clarity or understanding about the very purpose of
libraries at a time when economically, libraries are under pressure
to develop new business models and be more commercially focused?
Bold Minds: Library leadership in a time of disruption brings
together international leaders who frame many aspects of the
current library provision and who carry responsibility for the
library models of the future to consider how librarians and
libraries can be a driving force in a time of disruptive economic,
technological and cultural change. Each chapter critically presents
a short leadership provocation regarding libraries and their
purpose, encompassing strategic impact, culture change, engagement,
diversity, service delivery, collections, staff skills and
professional training and assessing what it means for leaders,
their sectors and organisations, and how they have developed their
personal leadership signature. This book will be invaluable to
library and information professionals in a range of public and
private sector libraries as well as policy makers in services where
libraries are a component. It will also be useful for students,
educational establishments, and IT professionals with an
information management element to their work.
