Foreword Cornell is a young university, chartered in 1868 through the impetus of an inventor and entrepreneur. On the university’s Inauguration Day, Ezra Cor- nell declared: ‘‘Finally, I trust we have laid the foundation of an University— an institution where any person can find instruction in any study.’’ Perhaps as a consequence of its youthful vitality, Cornell has prized both independence and innovation.

Its libraries mirror this diversity and independence, with

Developed in partnership with the state’s library community, the Vision 2020 Plan affirms the ongoing value of libraries and provides a clear vision of what excellent libraries should look like. The Plan offers models of success that may be emulated by libraries throughout New York, and makes 60 inter-related strategic recommendations for libraries, library systems, the New York State Library, and the Board of Regents.

  • Management Training in Library School: Do Graduate Programs Prepare an Individual for Real
    Endnotes: The Journal of the New Members Round Table | Volume 2, Number 1 | Nov 2011 Management Training in Library School: Do Graduate Programs Prepare an Individual for Real World Demands? Susan A. Schreiner Access Services Librarian Pittsburg State University Barbara M. Pope Serials Librarian Pittsburg State University Abstract This article examines the perception of management curriculum in library schools from the perspective of practicing professional librarians and information specialists with a master’s degree in library science. The authors surveyed degreed librarians in academic, public, and special libraries in a variety of job types about their management training in library school, how useful they feel those courses were to them professionally, and whether they would have or wish they would have taken additional management courses if they had been offered. The results of this survey show that a decisive gap in management training is being felt by practicing librarians, and highlight the need for making management courses in library schools meet the real world demands of today – and tomorrow. 1 Management Training in Library School | Susan A. Schreiner and Barbara M. Pope Endnotes: The Journal of the New Members Round Table | Volume 2, Number 1 | Nov 2011 Methodology The study1 was conducted by creating a survey via SurveyMonkey and asking librarians to voluntarily respond. It targeted eight American Library Association (ALA) and Public Library Association (PLA) listservs2 that serve general library interests as well as specialized management interests. The survey specifically targeted librarians who had been out of library school for at least one year.3 In order to get a broad coverage of librarian types, surveys were sent out to listservs that serve library administrators, university librarians, college librarians, public librarians, and school librarians.

Best practices for managing innovations in public libraries in the United States By: Devendra Potnis, Joseph Winberry, and Bonnie Finn Abstract Public libraries serve as anchors for thousands of communities across the country. Innovations are critical for the survival and relevance of public libraries in the country. Few studies, if any, identify the best practices for managing innovations in public libraries based on the experiential guidance shared by administrators of public libraries recognized for their innovations. This empirical study fills in the gap by identifying the challenges and solutions for managing innovations in public libraries in the United States.
