This volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization takes as its underpinning theme the whole subject of innovation in Library and Information Services. It considers the various types of innovation through case studies and exemplars both from within the LIS sector and other cognate industries and environments. It will look at both the last and the next thirty years by charting major technology developments and the ways in which they have not only been adopted and adapted by library services but also how the resulting improvements and enhancements have impacted upon key user communities. But more importantly, the volume projects these developments forward and in addition forecasts and analyses likely future inventions and innovations and how LIS leaders and managers should not only respond but actually help to create and shape our future world.Written and edited by Professor David Baker and Wendy Evans, the volume will include contributions from: Dr Chris Batt; Dr Masanori Koizumi; Dr Tibor Koltay; Professor Derek Law; Dr Mike McGrath; Dr Bruce Massis; Chloe Mills; John Robinson; Dr Lara Skelly; Professor Jo Smedley; Dr Evgenia Vassilakaki; Dr Graham Walton.
International contributors in library science, collection development, data protection, informatics, information systems, and strategic information management offer case studies on latest innovations in LIS. Each of the books 12 chapters includes an abstract outlining the purpose, methodology, approach, findings, and research and practical implications of the research described in the chapter. Some specific subjects examined include data literacy in academic libraries, the development of document supply, open source systems and shared services, leading the innovative library workforce, and creating a customized local serials collection. The final chapter describes new approaches to digital strategy in the 21st century. B&w photos, process diagrams, and screen shots are included. Distributed in North America by Turpin Distribution.
