contents Change Management in Extremis: A Case Study Carrillo, Elena Gregory, Gwen M. Academic Libraries Library Administration Organizational Change Change Strategies Library Services Efficiency Productivity Teamwork Leadership After 40 years under one manager, the Circulation Department at the Richard J. Daley Library was long past due for a change. The challenge of reorganizing included interesting and interrelated aspects: changes to workflows and assignments, moving staff and functions inside the department and across departments, and a deep dive into the culture to which staff had become habituated. Managers eliminated redundancies and increased services, effectiveness, productivity, and joy. This case study is a testament to how successful change happens with patience, respect, and a willingness to be flexible.
