Managing Change
A how-to-do-it manual for librarians
Susan Carol Curzon, Dean of the University Library at California State University, Northridge, USA.
Guiding staff and organizations through turbulent times - budget cuts, personnel shortages, new technologies, reorganization and consolidation - is an absolutely necessary skill for today’s library managers. Susan Curzon, one of Library Journal’s Librarians of the Year, has completely revised her classic change manual.
This guide outlines the step-by-step processes and detailed instructions necessary for conceptualizing the issues; planning; preparing; decision-making; controlling resistance; and implementing changes. Practical guidance for dealing with technology’s impact on libraries, applying the latest research in change management, and developing new strategies for coping with change are included.
An all new ‘Teaching Tools’ section - featuring sample scenarios; questions and discussion points; coaching prompts; motivational tips; and more - helps managers share the knowledge with their staff and colleagues. With a foreword by Michael Gorman, this updated essential guide will help you not only cope - but thrive - in our constantly changing library environment.
(NEW) March 2006; 144pp; paperback; 1-85604-601-X; £39.95 (£31.96 to CILIP Members)
