Kelsey S., Porter M. (Ed.) Best Practices for Corporate Libraries

Englewood: ABC-CLIO; Santa Barbara: Libraries Unlimited, 2011. — XII, 337 p. — (Libraries Unlimited library management collection).This book seeks to provide an overview of corporate librarianship, and to provide best practices regarding a variety of issues facing corporate information professionals, including services, facilities, communication, networking, management, marketing, demonstrating value, and change management. All librarians, whether corporate, academic, public, or other, are tasked with the responsibility of helping their libraries survive changes. In business, these changes may stem from corporate reorganization, downsizing and budget cuts, or simply a lack of appreciation by management for the information services function.
