| contents | Moving a 1.5 Million-Volume Library: A Study of Communication in Project Management. Bayne, Pauline S. Academic Libraries Communication (Thought Transfer) Higher Education Library Administration Library Planning Relocation Based on the relocation of the University of Tennessee Knoxville (UTK) Library, this paper explores the importance of communication in project management. Definitions of project management are followed by an overview of the UTK move and discussions of the role of the project director, possible causes of mismatches between responsibilities and authority, and ways that the project director can gain influence. The year and a half planning phase of the UTK move is then described, as well as methods of interfacing--e.g., meetings and training programs--between the project management team and independently working individuals and groups, such as library staff and outside contractors, are described. Examples of several forms of communication--person-to-group, person-to-person, and intragroup--conclude the paper. (7 references) (MES) |
