| Description |
In an era of constant technological, institutional and financial disruption, library leaders often need to reallocate resources or reengineer positions and services. How do they make these organizational changes effectively while maintaining services and resources and even innovating? This paper discusses that question by exploring the role of strategic priority-setting as a roadmap for successful change in libraries. Against the backdrop of the Great Recession, the author explored three academic libraries with published strategic priorities that weathered major changes, including severe budget reductions and planning for a new building, to see what role the priorities played in the decision-making of the leaders. Through interviews of key stakeholders and an analysis of documents, the author discovered that the library leadership and staff used the priorities to maintain the most important services and resources; innovate in some ways; and support employee morale.
