Academic libraries have continually looked for technological solutions to low circulation statistics, under-usage by students and faculty, and what is perceived as a crisis in relevance, seeing themselves in competition with Google and Wikipedia. Academic libraries, however, are as relevant as they have been historically, as their primary functions within their university missions have not changed, but merely evolved. Going beyond the Gate Count argues that the problem is not relevance, but marketing and articulation. This book offers theoretical reasoning and practical advice to directors on

Inherent Strategies in Library Management describes general and specific strategies for libraries based on core library values, and does so through concrete research. Many strategic management books for libraries introduce concepts of business management to the library world, but often neglect traditional library culture and core values. This book reexamines management through the lens of libraries themselves, rather than relying on strategies borrowed from the business world, in an attempt to bring to light the factors and decision-making processes behind how librarians have run their libraries over the past fifty decades. In other words, their decisions can be regarded as inherent management, born naturally from the core foundations, considerations, and operations of libraries. In addition, this book investigates the broad influences of business management theories on libraries, including a discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of their use.

Sport ist kein gewöhnliches Wirtschaftsgut. Die Traditionen der Sportbranche müssen ebenso berücksichtigt werden, wie die vielfältigen Differenzierungen in den über sechzig Sportarten auf verschiedenen Leistungsniveaus und die Zielvorstellungen der aktiv und passiv dem Sport Verbundenen. Wer aber nur seine Sportart kennt, ohne die wirtschaftlichen Zusammenhänge zu berücksichtigen, begeht zwangsläufig Fehler. Hier setzt dieses Buch ein, das den Charakter eines einführenden Lehrbuches hat. Die Autoren, behandeln insbesondere die Schnittstellen zwischen den Sport- und den Wirtschaftswissenschaften, die bei den meisten sport- oder wirtschaftswissenschaftlichen Darstellungen der Sportindustrie vernachlässigt werden. Es wendet sich an Studierende, die Verantwortung in der Sportindustrie übernehmen wollen, und an diejenigen, die sich im Sportmanagement weiterbilden wollen.

As it continues to publish work that is relevant for both researchers and library practitioners, Volume 30 of Advances in Library Administration and Organization contains articles describing efforts at cooperation and collaboration within the library profession. This volume includes scholarship that illustrates both concepts, best defined in one of the chapters as terms "often used loosely to describe relationships among entities or people working together." Topics explored within the volume include an examination of public and academic libraries as places that provide purposeful spaces specific to providing user need fulfilment; library services in juvenile detention centers; and the contribution of school library media specialists. The development of electronic institutional repositories, primarily in academic libraries and based on efforts to encourage campus community involvement and partnerships between librarians and the faculty they serve is discussed. Successful fund raising in libraries is explored through the examination of the impact of organizational placement of the library development officer in universities.

This volume explores the ways in which civil society andgovernments employ transformative tactics of direct engagement in coordinatingefforts toward the common good. The chapters highlight alternatives that arephilosophically and pragmatically different from neoliberal austerity measures, which reduce coproduction to a cost-saving tactic. Instead of simplisticload-shedding and unfunded partnerships, collaborative governance andcoproduction increasingly take on characteristics of social movements, whereindirect citizen engagement in public policy making and administrativeimplementation are seen as the collective pursuit of human flourishing andabundance. These approaches counter the statusquo - both in terms of power dynamics and standard operating procedures. Civilsociety is increasingly reclaiming its roots in the more informal mechanisms ofsocial movements. As governments reach out to engage these groups, they mustdevelop a new stance toward collaboration - one that sees power as a generativeforce when shared rather than held through hierarchical or competitivedominance. This book shows how, through this transformation, genuine public value can be produced.
