Management in the library

The reading of Colvin (2000) brings some interesting points to the forefront. What does this mean for school libraries?

  • People are knowledge workers
  • Organisations are organisms instead of machines
  • Staff works more productive when they can create, judge, imagine and build relationships
  • The library needs to be part of the system/organisation to function optimally
  • Valued staff is valuable staff
