About this title

Synopsis

Strategic Planning for Multitype Library Cooperatives: A Planning Process is a companion volume and handbook to the Strategic Planning for Library Multitype Cooperatives: Samples and Examples. This manual can be used by organizations as they structure their planning process and bring together methods that combine conventional long range planning and focused strategic planning. The planning process includes analyzing the environmental scan, conducting a needs assessment, drafting the vision, mission, and values, setting the direction and measuring the success, implementing and evaluating the plan. Strategic Planning for Multitype Library Cooperatives: A Planning Process gives direction for assessment and evaluation and serves as a guide for how-to-do long range planning.

Reviews

The authors, using their extensive work experience in state and multitype libraries, describe a system that combines long-range and strategic planning processes. Each stage of the process is discussed: initial organization, creation of vision and mission statements, conducting and analyzing environmental needs assessments, and the implementation and evaluation of the final plan. Unfortunately, the book's organization is somewhat confusing. One chapter seems to blend into another, and the placement of examples is inconsistent. Some examples are included within the chapters while others are mixed in with the worksheets at the end of each chapter. This arrangement is distracting and makes the information difficult to locate. Still, the information provided is useful. Twenty-seven worksheets are included that can be used as is or adjusted to meet local needs. Like the first volume in this series, Strategic Planning for Library Multitype Cooperatives: Samples and Examples (Professional Media, LJ 10/15/97), this book is written for multitype librarians; however, the information could be adapted quite easily to any library. Although each volume may be used separately, they nicely complement one another, and the set is recommended, particularly for librarians who are new to the planning process.?Tina Neville, Univ. of South Florida at St. Petersburg Lib.
