Book excerpt: "The leadership and management skills and competencies needed to lead an academic library are not always limited to domain-based expertise developed in graduate school and honed over careers. Librarians in administrative positions, both within the organization and the greater university leadership structure, need to be entrepreneurial in their approach to leadership and become systems thinkers: consider the overarching structures in which they operate, identify collaborative opportunities to strengthen their organizations, and creatively lead bold change in order to keep their organizations relevant. Developing the Next Generation of Library Leaders examines how the library profession can foster this skill development for new leaders through the leadership stories and development of twenty-two assistant/associate deans. Ten big ideas emerged through this research: Developing a career ladder Mitigating identity crisis Learning theory, applying to practice Support Find your people Leadership pause points Alternative leadership and management models Demystifying leadership and management Succession planning Battling gender-based doubts Each of these ideas include questions as well as recommendations that, when taken together, offer a holistic approach to shrinking the leadership gap in our profession and preparing the next generation of library leaders to move the profession forward and meet the evolving challenges of higher education"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Institutions of higher education and academic libraries are not the traditional organizations they once were. They are subject to a variety of forces, including shifting and changing populations, technological changes, public demands for affordability and accountability, and changing approaches to research and learning. Academic libraries can no longer establish their excellence and ground their missions, visions, and strategic directions using the old means and methods. Leading Change in Academic Libraries is a collection of 20 change stories authored by academic librarians from different types of four-year institutions. Librarians tell the story firsthand of how they managed major change in processes, functions, services, programs, or overall organizations using John Kotter's Eight-Stage Process of Creating Major Change as a framework for examining change at their institutions, measuring their successes and areas for improvement, and determining progress. In five sections--strategic planning, reorganization, culture change, new roles, and technological change--chapters discuss tackling common challenges such as fear, anxiety, change fatigue, complacency, unexpected changes of leadership, vacancies, and resistance; look at the results of their tactics; and provide effective practices they found. Each section ends with a thorough analysis of the stories within and the most effective tips for leading that kind of change. Leading Change in Academic Libraries can help you establish flexible, nimble, and collaborative decision-making processes, and facilitate the transition from legacy collections-based libraries to forward-looking service-based libraries"--from the ALA website.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past 30 years, the field of librarianship has increasingly recognized the importance of targeted programs for leadership development. The first of these were designed and offered by the Association of Research Libraries and evolved from their Management Skills Institutes. This book describes 18 programs that have been created to fulfill not only a need but also a growing demand for formal education and training programs. The chapters in this book discuss within a common framework the major programs that already exist. It also accomplishes another more important purpose: it effectively illuminates what needs to be done to ensure we will have the leaders needed for future success and sustainability.

Book excerpt: "While much has been written recently about new methods to recruit individuals to the library profession, less has been written about attempts by states to develop the next generation of library leaders. This article examines the efforts by librarians in one state, Illinois, to address this need by creating a new program, Synergy: The illinois Library Leadership Initiative. Launched by Jean Wilkins, Director of the Illinois State Library, 60 librarians from different types of Illinois libraries have participated in the program in the last two years. The author describes the program and a survey she conducted of academic Synergists to begin to assess the impact of the program on the development of academic library leaders in the state. Using the first survey of this group, the author offers preliminary insights into the effectivemess of the program in order to determine if this model may be of value to academic librarians in other states"--Abstract.
