~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Anyone contemplating the current state of
information and library management must marvel at the changes that
have taken place over the last decade or so. Technology has been the
driver of much of that change in terms of the range of information
that has been made available, the level of accessibility it has opened
up and the scope for managing information that it has provided. The
results are some spectacular configurations of information services
delivery in places such as hybrid libraries. In addition, clients
whether as individuals or institutions have discovered a new voice
that is articulated through a demand for demonstrable accountability,
quality and efficiency. Here the outcomes are sharpened responses to
user needs allied to tangible demonstrations of best value and
enhanced impact with [very] scarce resources. The changes will not
stop. What will tomorrow look like; will we be able to afford it; and
how will we manage getting from now to then [and beyond]?
At LISU's Summer 2001 Seminar a gathering
of specialists will share their experiences and knowledge of planning
for and managing change in all its dimensions. Techniques which push
the envelope of planning further, such as scenario development will be
explored and accounts of change management in a range of institutions
will be related.
