This document discusses managing change in libraries. It begins by providing examples of how libraries have adapted to changes over time, such as adapting to OPACs in the 1970s and the rise of the internet. It then discusses tips for change agents, such as being open to data, networking, documenting processes, and not being afraid of change. The document emphasizes that change is difficult for people because it involves transitions, not just the change itself, and provides tips for helping staff through the transition process. It concludes by discussing how libraries can stay relevant by connecting with their community through their website, social media, and being aware of trends in their area.

25. Change, the old way
• Leaders simply ordered changes
• Goal: getting the change accomplished
• When it fails, leaders review details of the
change
38. Resistance isn’t
the problem
•Management’s reaction to resistance
creates the problems
•The resistors probably don’t see it as
resistance - they see it as survival
42. 3. Bigger Stuff
• Personal history
• Who you are – race, religion, etc
• Significant disagreement over values
• Transference - the person being resisted
represents someone else (fill in the blank)
44. Just for Leaders
• You've already come to terms with the change
• Understand why people might not want to
change
• Understand that it's the transitions, not the
change, that's causing waves
45. Steps to Take
• Describe the change succinctly
• Plan carefully
• Help people respectfully let go
• Constant communication
• Create temporary solutions when needed
• Model new behavior!
46. Don't do these things!
• Don't confuse novelty with innovation
• Don't confuse motion with action
• Don't keep something going if it “still has a
few good years of life”
48. If you refuse
to change:
• Missed career opportunities
• you'll miss out on the opportunity to expand
your network and your ability to develop new
relationships
• You’ll miss out on the possibility of shaping
your new destiny and reality
