Because the authors had unprecedented access to the libraries and their records, Managing Change in the Nonprofit Sector presents comprehensive and compelling information including: an analysis of organizational growth; how they resolved the thorny problem of adhering to the objectives of the founders while addressing the often-conflicting goals of societal pressure; how the roles of executives have changed over the years; the approach used for the management of Andowments; an investigation of the factors that caused budget deficits; and how the libraries responded as financial pressures became a serious issue.This book is written for nonprofit executives, board members, and scholars as well as librarians, library science students, and historians of social change. Managing Change in the Nonprofit Sector offers members of nonprofit institutions a unique study that will prove valuable in understanding the forces which affect organizational change, and the interplay between financial and program considerations that is vital to long-term success.
