Like so much else in the information professions, leadership styles are being forced to change to meet the demands of technological innovation.

This fascinating volume stresses the leadership needed to manage change. The essential skills taught here will help you update library services at a reasonable pace while preserving valuable low-tech alternatives. As one chapter recommends, "Every librarian at every level should have ready an answer-multiple answers-to the ubiquitous questions: Why do we still need libraries when everything is on the Web?

recruiting tips for identifying potential leaders
