- Gazing into the Crystal Ball: Using Scenarios for Future Visioning of a Distance Learning Library Service Casey, Anne Marie Cawthorne, Jon E. Citro, Kathleen Library Services Distance Education Vignettes Program Descriptions Strategic Planning Library Development Library Administration Organizational Development Academic Libraries Teamwork Cooperative Planning Group Dynamics Performance Factors Change Strategies This article describes the use of scenarios as a tool to assist a large distance learning library service in its strategic planning. Through a description of the scenario process from beginning to end, the authors detail the steps that the library director and the consultant took initially; their missteps; and the successful conclusion. This study of the journey through the scenario process to a new strategic plan should prove useful to library administrators interested in exploring new ways to plan for uncertain futures.
