Planning for Library Services

Library planning helps institutions address broader changes in the way information is sought, found, and consumed so the institution can prepare students for success in an increasing data- and knowledge-dependent society. The book defines the concept and process of strategic planning, explaining its origins in the business world in the 1960s, and its adoption by library and information services from the 1970s, with support from professional associations and government bodies in promoting good practice.
