Apraksts

In this information age it is widely recognized that in order to maintain relevance and to gain a competitive edge, libraries and other organizations in the information business must continuously assess their roles, collections, services and perhaps most importantly, their business practices. Scenarios are a way of predicting and describing a future three to five years away while strongly engaging the community in choosing the future which is preferable. The horizon in which assessments about future roles change is growing shorter and shorter.  Drawing on extensive experience in libraries in different parts of the globe, the authors provide a rich analysis of planning, managing and implementing change in information organizations through scenario planning. Through extensive practical applications, both actual and theoretical, they offer a strong background understanding and direction through a planning process that is both readily applicable and innovative for all information organizations, irrespective of their size or client base.
