Book Description
Today's library leaders face a world in which the only constant is change. Seeking out innovative ways to meet the evolving needs of their communities has become a critical part of their responsibilities. In this book, Doucett mines new territory in this ongoing effort by exploring how successful organizations "outside the stacks" conduct their business. She interviews leaders of advertising, online commerce, fundraising, retailing, crowdsourcing and other organizations (including Kickstarter, L.L. Bean, Down East Magazine and Tom's of Maine, among others), learning what they do exceptionally well. From this research she presents more than 100 examples of game-changing ideas ready for application in libraries. And most importantly, she articulates a simple process that readers can use to pursue the same path of exploration at their own institutions, including the actual questions used during her interviews. An exciting survey of creativity in action, Doucett's book will encourage public library directors, managers, trustees, and staff to cross-pollinate their own expertise with innovative ideas from outside the stacks.

Book Description
In a climate of rapid change - growth in student numbers, new student-centred learning methods, the need to manage resources on a value-for-money basis, and the move towards the electronic library - human resource management has become a key area of concern to university and college managers. An effective academic library must have a staff development policy implemented by its manager, and its training function must be fully integrated with other departments in the organization. This book is the first to address these issues in an academic library context, and the fully revised and second edition updates readers on developments in this rapidly changing field. Readership: The insightful and perceptive approach of this assessment makes it particularly valuable to librarians with responsibility for managing change in higher and further education, as well as being a vital tool for all institutional managers and staff developers.
