Libraries continually focus on adaptation and adopt different transformation strategies to achieve this goal. These strategies demonstrate a clear desire to stay in tune with the times, while retaining the basic principles that underpin their day-to-day work and ensure they continue to exist. This book is a complete synthesis, a helpful resource for librarians and information professionals that develops four major strategies. The first focuses on understanding the environment and society, with organizational changes affecting cultural institutions (public or private), and the emergence of the library space. The second shows how management methods evolve within them (participatory approach, benevolence, empathy) with an emphasis on project management. The third strategy focuses on the integration of new library tools to better reach audiences. Finally, the fourth develops an essential and indispensable aspect of library marketing.

Challenged to do more, better, at less cost, libraries need to plan so that today's decisions will still be successful tomorrow. The two-volume Planning for Results lays out a new planning process, developed by the Public Library Association, to transform a library to realize a higher level of service that becomes the starting point for the next step in ongoing planning. One volume is a guidebook that introduces the process, explains each step, and in its second part, presents responses to such service demands as basic literacy, community referral, government information, and lifelong learning. Each chapter in part 2 gives examples of needs addressed, possible basic response components, target audiences, resource allocation, and methods of evaluating effectiveness. The other volume is a how-to manual that details each of the planning steps. An appendix contains a complete set of sample work forms. Although aimed specifically at public libraries, the process can be adapted for other types of libraries or for service areas within a particular library. - Edward Swanson-

Public libraries continue to be an important and much loved public service. There are almost 3,000 public libraries in England run by 150 different authorities and spending about £800 million of public money. Almost half the population hold a library card . Why then is so little attention paid to how and why a public library service should be modernised? The transformation of Brent libraries was a successful example of public service reform leading to improved outcomes despite a drop in budgets of almost 20%. As such it has been praised by staff in other authorities as well as in government literature . Yet it was extraordinarily controversial. It generated a judicial review fought all the way to the Court of Appeal, attracting condemnation from a number of celebrities and national headlines. James Powney was at the heart of this successful library reform to turn a mediocre public library service into one of the most successful services in the UK. This book is arranged in four sections. The first is a description of getting the process passed, and through the subsequent Court proceedings. The second tackles some of the themes that came up in that process, in particular the failure of the “Big Society” to take off. The third is about what modern libraries can do and why they are important, contrary to what some people in the government argue. Finally, there is a short list of the lessons. learnt.

It has been fascinating to watch libraries evolve through time and space, remaining buoyant in the face of seismic shifts. In spite of predictions to the contrary, libraries have survived the growing power of digital connectivity, proving themselves as titlist geniuses of technological advancement. Libraries are proving the validity of Shiyali Ramamrita Ranganathan's (1892-1972) fifth law of the library (that the library is a growing organism), as evidenced by the innovative ways they have managed change. This book places libraries and related institutions on an intellectual pedestal, and examines their methods of survival regarding technological progress. The book makes a valuable contribution to the field of library and information science.
