Library Management Skills Institute 2: The Organization
What's in store?
Library Management Skills Institute 2: The Organization was designed using Peter Senge’s renowned Learning Organization as the organizing framework. Participants are introduced to each of the five disciplines within the context of libraries. The content and practical application are presented and explored in a library context that reflects the specific audience—academic, public or special libraries. Library practitioners and leaders can understand and have an impact on organizations that need change agents and leadership at all levels. Facilitators for events are selected based on alignment of their professional experience with the type of library organization.
