This volume seeks to provide the steps to library renewal within a framework that ensures smooth transition. These steps include planning, implementing, and surviving change in a manner that helps and involves staff, while also improving the facilities.


As new technologies, changing patron needs, and fluctuations in funding continue to affect libraries of all types and sizes, library administrators and managers know it's time to re-evaluate the structure and staffing of their organizations. These adjustments often involve moving from traditional services to a renewed spirit based on a patrons-first philosophy. "The ABCs of Collaborative Change" seeks to provide the steps to library renewal within a framework that ensures smooth transition. These steps include planning, implementing and surviving change in a manner that not only helps library staff understand the need for change, but involves them in the process. The book argues that real change means more than being different, it's about being better. "The ABCs of Collaborative Change" distinguishes between the two and outlines leadership styles that forge a collective commitment toward improvement. This collaborative approach is geared to result in successful change, a renewal which prepares the library to best serve the diverse needs of all of its patrons.
