More Innovative Redesign and Reorganization of Library Technical Services

by Bradford Lee Eden

This book follows the author's successful Innovative Redesigns and Reorganizations of Library Technical Services , with even more case studies and surveys. As before, it focuses on ways that technical services departments in libraries are meeting the challenges of new formats, new work duties, and changing jobs in the wake of less money and a decreasing job force. Bradford Eden's international cast of contributors represent the best in practice; and topics cover such essentials as the impact of computers and technology on workflow enhancement (particularly Web 2.0), changing staff roles, and communications challenges. All in all, a plethora of new ideas for tech services heads and staff in libraries and larger organizational institutions determined to maintain the relevance of their department.

[Lesley Looper · Rating 3 out of 5]

Well, it took me three years to finish this book, but I don’t really blame the book—it’s been a busy three years for me! Meanwhile, it was a good professional exercise to read this book, and I bet it gave me some ideas along the way! Of course, it’s an 11-year-old book by now, so it’s not as potentially cutting edge as it once was. Still, I was reminded of LibraryThing today. I have an account there too, but prefer Goodreads.
