Libraries are dealing with significant challenges such as budget constraints, requests for new and improved services, and implementing an ever-growing list of technologies and standards. These challenges are particularly relevant to critical library operations such as cataloging, acquisitions, and electronic resource management. To meet and overcome these challenges, technical services managers need to effectively manage and inspire change within their teams.
Core: Leadership, Infrastructure, and Futures, a new division of ALA, will present the webinar “Best Practices for Managing Change in Library Technical Services,” on Wednesday, October 21, from 1:00 – 2:00 pm, Central Time.
This webinar will examine key strategies for successful change management and cover organizational assessment, change formulation, enacting and influencing change, and how these concepts can be implemented within the technical services environment.
In this webinar, attendees will learn about:
- Assessing the Need for Change
- Formulating Change
- Communicating the Need for Change
- Enacting and Influencing Change
- Maintaining Change
Who should attend: This webinar is intended for both technical services managers and library staff.
