Archives in Libraries
Jeannette A. Bastian
Society of American Archivists, 2015
Library of Congress CD971.B29 2015 | Dewey Decimal 020.92
Many libraries have archives, which serve a distinct function, albeit in a shared setting. Reconciling differences between archivists and librarians has been a long-standing issue for the information professions in the United States. Today more than ever, librarians and archivists need to understand one another and harmonize their divergent but complementary professional paths. ARCHIVES IN LIBRARIES: WHAT LIBRARIANS AND ARCHIVISTS NEED TO KNOW TO WORK TOGETHER builds a bridge toward that harmonization, suggesting ways in which archivists working in libraries can better negotiate their relationships with the institution and with their library colleagues. It also helps librarians and library directors better understand archival work by providing overviews of archival concepts, policies, and best practices. Vignettes and interviews throughout the book articulate similarities and points of departure between libraries and archives while highlighting the issues and offering solutions to practical problems.

Library Management 101: A Practical Guide
Lisa K. Hussey
American Library Association, 2019
Library of Congress Z678.L4725 2019 | Dewey Decimal 025.1
Just because a set of responsibilities isn’t formally called management doesn’t mean that it isn’t management. And this vital text speaks to a reality that all current professionals already know: that is, everyone studying to enter the profession needs an introduction to the topic of management. Because no matter what one’s role in an academic or public library context, it will involve decision-making, planning, and organization skills. Newly revised and updated, this book pulls together management best practices from library management experts teaching in LIS programs across the U.S. and Canada. Among the many topics discussed are
- classic and contemporary theories of management, and how they apply to the library;
- human resource planning;
- marketing and public relations;
- negotiations, mediation, and financial management of the library;
- facilities management;
- information technology management and future trends;
- change management, organizational culture; and
- ethics and confidentiality.

The Six-Step Guide to Library Worker Engagement
Elaina Norlin

Library of Congress Z678.N66 2021 | Dewey Decimal 023.0973
Gallup’s 2019 State of the American Workplace Report found that 70 percent of employees are disengaged at work. Why is worker engagement so important? Engaged workers lead to engaged libraries — vibrant institutions that nurture their workers’ dedication, creativity, and innovation so they can serve their communities most effectively. This guide walks library managers and administrators through concrete steps to change their organization’s culture so that it fosters worker engagement, using first-hand accounts from library staff to illustrate both successes and failures. Readers will discover
- why libraries often fall short at hiring good leadership and ways to develop better recruitment strategies moving forward;
- how lack of trust pushes workplace culture towards incivility, hostility, and lower morale, and what library leaders can do to rebuild it;
- methods for using recognition and praise as tools for sustaining a positive work environment;
- the rationale for eliminating annual performance reviews in favor of less formal one-on-one conversations and “just in time” continuous feedback;
- the secrets behind high performing teams, strategies to support dysfunctional teams, and tips on how to develop remote teamwork; and
- why viewing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as separate from workplace culture is counterproductive, since it is actually the positive result of a strong foundation, with advice on combating the factors that contribute to low retention rates of BIPOC librarians.
