9781138705395 - Managing Cultural Change in Public Libraries: Marx, Maslow and Management (Routledge Studies in Library and Information Science) de Pateman, John; Pateman, Joe (13 resultados)

Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Managing Cultural Change in Public Libraries argues that changes to library Strategies and Systems can lead to transformations in library Structures that can, in turn, shape and determine Organisational Culture. Drawing on Management theories, as well as the ideas of Marx and Maslow, the authors present an ambitious Analytical Framework that can be used to better understand, support and enable cultural change in public libraries.The volume argues for radical but sustainable transformations in public libraries that require significant changes to Strategies, Structures, Systems and, most importantly, Organisational Culture. These changes will enable Traditional Libraries to reach out beyond their current active patrons to engage with new customer groups and will also enable Traditional Libraries to evolve into Community-Led Libraries, and Community-Led Libraries to become Needs-Based Libraries. Public libraries must be meaningful and relevant to the communities they serve. For this to happen, the authors argue, all sections of the local community must be actively involved in the planning, design, delivery and evaluation of library services. This book demonstrates how to make these changes happen, acting as a blueprint and road map for organisational change and putting ideas into action through a series of case studies.Managing Cultural Change in Public Libraries will be of particular interest to academics and advanced students engaged in the study of library and information science. It should also be essential reading for practitioners and policymakers and all those who believe that communities should be involved and engaged in the planning, design, delivery, and evaluation of library services. In Managing Cultural Change in Public Libraries, Pateman draws on the ideas of Marx and Maslow to present an ambitious analytical framework, which, he says, can be used to create bold public-library strategies, structures, and systems. Pateman argues for radicalbut sustainabletransformations in public libraries. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
