Providing perspectives of early- and mid-career librarians as well
as highly seasoned professionals, this book offers leadership
advice that will help academic librarians of all experience levels
to surmount the issues they face and overcome new challenges.
Academic libraries and librarianship have dramatically evolved in
recent years—in everything from their collections and facilities
to their relationships with faculty and internal and external
partners. These changes demand different mindsets and new skills on
the part of librarians. This book explains how the quality of
leadership is the key component of successfully implementing
innovative service and practices—and as a result, of the success
of the library itself. To that end, it offers practical guidelines
for implementing leadership principles and achieving success in
this evolving culture. Coedited by a team of three highly
experienced academic librarians, Leading in the New Academic
Library gives actionable advice regarding subjects like helping
staff gain new competencies, leading from the middle, and
succession planning. The content also addresses hot topics such as
the academic library's new role, the integration of IT into library
organization and infrastructure, making data-driven decisions,
renovating a library space to meet changing user needs, and
collaborating with internal as well as external partners.
This collection of thought-provoking essays by visionary and
innovative library practitioners covers theory, research, and best
practices in collection development, examining how it has evolved,
identifying how some librarians are creatively responding to these
changes, and predicting what is coming next. Rethinking Collection
Development and Management adds a new and important perspective to
the literature on collection development and management for
21st-century library professionals. The work reveals how
dramatically collection development is changing, and has already
changed; supplies practical suggestions on how librarians might
respond to these advancements; and reflects on what librarians can
expect in the future. This volume is a perfect complement for
textbooks that take a more traditional approach, offering a broad,
forward-thinking perspective that will benefit students in graduate
LIS programs and guide practitioners, collection development
officers, and directors in public and academic libraries. A chapter
on collection development and management in the MLIS curriculum
makes this volume especially pertinent to library and information
science educators. Provides an up-to-date professional guide that
complements traditional collection management texts Identifies
current trends and paradigm shifts in collection development and
management Illustrates best practices for emerging trends in
collection development Features contributions from innovative,
informed, and visionary experts in the field
