LEADING THE 21ST-CENTURY ACADEMIC LIBRARY: SUCCESSFUL STRATEGIES FOR ENVISIONING AND REALIZING PREFERRED FUTURES

摘要

Leading the 21st-century Academic Library is a collection of essays that explore how academic libraries can strategically respond to the disruptive changes they continue to experience in the digital age. This volume, the first in the planned ten-volume Creating the 21st-century Academic Library series, focuses on "visionary leadership and futures." A central theme that emerges in this book is the importance for library leaders to proactively embrace disruptive change, cultivate essential skills, and re-conceptualize library spaces and services so that libraries can not only survive, but flourish.
