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.
The changing environment in higher education requires different
approaches to be taken to the provision of professional support
services. This may result in the development of outsourced shared
services, the convergence of many different student-facing services
or the development of more active collaborative networks. This
collection of essays considers the changing context and broad
principles affecting the ways in which we need to manage and
provide services and offers case studies of changes that have
already taken place. This book recognizes and uncovers the
innovations that leaders and practitioners are implementing to
transform and develop the provision of sustainable and creative
support services. Such innovations are resulting in diverse models
of service delivery and the development of more active
collaborative networks and commercial partnerships. The essays are
drawn from a broad spectrum of professionals working inside and
outside library and information services as well as those
responsible for leading multiply converged or joint service teams.
Key topics include: The changing higher education context and how
to build service success in uncertain times Connecting with the
student perspective Working with professional associations Culture,
values and change: observations from three consortia in Canada
Managing complex change collaboratively and creatively Leaders and
influencing skills of the future The role of technology in enabling
collaboration and the role of shared data in extending the
library's value Space: changing the boundaries and the communal
nature of the academic library Collaborative service provision
through super-convergence Joint use libraries and transformational
change. Readership: Library leaders and practitioners and students
