Systems Analysis for Librarians and Information Professionals
Author: Larry Osborne
Publisher: Libraries Unlimited
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 284
Book Description
Rational and methodical, systems analysis has been used successfully by business, industry, and research organizations. This new edition employs basic elements from the business world to show users how to apply systems analysis effectively to any library setting. Updating Osborne and Nakamura's previous work, the book fills a tremendous need in the field. It introduces readers to the steps in the process-from identifying and defining problems and collecting and analyzing data to selecting strategies for implementation and proof of the systems. The limitations of systems analysis, an overview of the rationale for applying it to problem situations, and many real-life examples illustrate the principles. A new chapter on object-oriented techniques, additional idea-generating techniques, and the inclusion of case studies invites readers to put these principles into practice. Practical and easy-to-read, this work will benefit students of information studies as well as professionals in the field, particul

Soft Systems Analysis and the Management of Libraries, Information Services and Resource Centres
Author: Peter G. Underwood
Publisher: Library Association Publishing (UK)
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Soft systems techniques can be used by managers at all levels to analyse the needs of individuals or groups of people working in, or affected by, what goes on in an organization. The technique has developed as an alternative to more reductionist 'hard' approaches which tend not to take account of the social and political dimensions of issues and have led to the implementation of systems that have failed to meet the needs of users. In this introduction to the soft systems approach, Professor Underwood suggests ways in which this type of analysis offers advantages when used in the context of libraries, information services and resource centres. Soft systems take into account the subjective element in problem-solving and are of especial value in the new Internet-driven information situation, where traditional information boundaries are being challenged. At a time when the information world has been undergoing fundamental technological and social changes, the need to find techniques to promote greater understanding of this change has become an important challenge for information managers. Soft systems analysis offers the practitioner, the consultant and the student an in-depth view of the application of soft systems analysis as a tool for exploring the potential for change in organizations.
