But you don't have to go it alone. For this book, the authors sat down with many of the library leaders they most admire for a series of conversations about the aspects of the job that they find the most fascinating (and challenging). Much like the chats you might have over coffee at a conference or with a mentor, these frank discussions will nourish you with nuts-and-bolts wisdom on a diverse range of academic library management issues. Among the topics and situations broached are: (1) Balancing personal values against the common refrain "you don't get to be who you want to be in positions like ours"; (2) Five questions to ask that reveal much about organizational culture and climate; (3) Creating a culture of change, including why a newly promoted director chose to make the most drastic changes in the first 100 days; (4) Forming a "dean team" to help frame responses with consideration to institutional culture; (5) The value of demystifying the budget for the entire library staff; (6) Using tools such as a personal "learning journal" to fuel professional development; (7) Cultivating a personal network by setting up meetings at local libraries during conferences; (8) The risks that result from jumping into a situation too fast and boxing yourself into a corner; lessons learned from failed initiatives; (9) Examples of navigating controversies, such as a director's response to a WPA mural with a racist message; and (10) Managing facilities, with an example of how injecting a previously ignored library voice into a building project led to a tripling of the space. |
