| Synopsis: |
The library media specialist can become a leader in the process of restructuring a school through methods of strategic planning. Crowley, who has given workshops around the country on strategic planning for the library media centre, shows library media specialists how to use their unique skills to help direct the planning team that is charged with developing a vision for the school's future. Through text and graphics, Crowley designs a roadmap to the strategic planning process and shows the pitfalls to avoid. He also outlines the parallel planning the library professional must do for the library media centre itself; both planning processes are carried out simultaneously and should be closely interwoven. This work should be valuable to school library media specialists and adminstrators, as well as to educators who are involved in school restructuring. This work emphasises the role of the library professional as information expert, external environment scanner, and cataloguer.The decisions a school must make as it develops a vision of the future should be based on current and accurate information, and the library media specialist is the logical choice to assume the role of information expert for the strategic planning process. The process, as outlined by Crowley, begins with the case for the strategic planning process, and follows with chapters on external scanning, internal scanning, organisational analysis, developing a vision statement, mission statement, action plans, setting priorities, and keeping strategic planning dynamic. |
