Comprehensive planning has become an essential element in the
management of the modern university library. The purpose of this
book is to help those now engaged in this important management
function by summarizing the history of academic library planning
and analyzing its practice in a group of major libraries over the
past several decades. The most significant changes confronting
academic libraries for the past several decades have been
technological, social, and economic. Strategic planning is used as
the tool for making these libraries more responsive to their
environments and for helping them anticipate and prepare for
change. Stanton F. Biddle examines the extent to which strategic
planning is being employed, analyzes the planning documents, and
develops guidelines for improving the quality of future planning
efforts. The volume begins with a discussion of strategic or
long-range planning taken from the literature of management and
organizational theory. The next chapter reviews the historical
development of large academic libraries and the history of the
application of contemporary management theories and practices to
their administrations through the 1970s. The following chapter
focuses on the widespread dissatisfaction with traditional
approaches to library management in the 1960s and 1970s. The next
two chapters compare library planning source documents, and the
final chapter concludes with recommendations.
