Management Communication: Principles and Practice
Michael E. Hattersley , and Linda M McJannet Manufacturer: McGraw-Hill/Irwin ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0073525057 |
Book Description
Management Communication, 3/e by Hattersley and McJannet offers a comprehensive, well-researched solution to teaching management communication. This text and casebook includes essential coverage of effective writing and speaking principles. It aims to help the reader master the full range of skills required of a successful manager. Most of the eighteen end-of-chapter case studies were developed at Harvard Business School where Dr. Hattersley headed the Management Communication Department and where Dr. McJannet taught (under her married name, Linda McJ. Micheli). The cases put the reader in the role of decision maker and communicator in actual business situations. While the text emphasizes practical communication skills every manager needs to master, it also includes full chapters on electronic communication, corporate ethics, audience analysis, meeting management, giving and receiving feedback, choosing media, style and tone, intercultural communication, and business and the press. The two concluding chapters provide two style manuals, the first on writing and the second on speaking, through the use of graphics and group presentations. Each is designed to be cross-referenced throughout the course and serve as a valuable resource for readers to refer to throughout their careers.

While the standards seem to be the initial focus of the ALA, the real usefulness of the document comes into play when the additional chapters are explored. The real meat of the program comes in Part Two, entitled Building Partnerships for Learning. The importance of collaboration, leadership, and technology are described within the media center program, and are given a place of respect throughout this second section. Additionally, collaborative teaching is given a high place of honor, and is, in fact, written into the goals described for a media center specialist. This section continues by including ways in which information should be accessed by patrons and delivered by the library media specialist. It is nice that the ALA didn't describe the exact methods for information access and delivery because it allows the document to be ever changing. Instead a more general Principle 1 is given, "The library media program provides intellectual access to information and ideas for learning." (p. 83). This states what is important, yet allows for the professional to find the method by which information is accessed. Additionally, the document takes the professional school librarian and sets goals that can be adapted to the specific user. Finally, goals are set forth for the school regarding the expectations of program administration, which requires a professional or certified librarian to be a part of every school (which may increase the need for even more jobs in this profession!). The references are an important addition as well as they are relatively up-to-date and important sources for a librarian to look for information.
Overall, the book nicely sets forth a comprehensive plan for a school library media program, whether at an elementary or secondary level. While the standards and principles may get rather weighty, the information behind them is important and useful.

Promoting Preservation Awareness in Libraries: A Sourcebook for Academic, Public, School, and Special Collections (The Greenwood Library Management Collection)
Manufacturer: Greenwood Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0313302065 |
Book Description
As collections deteriorate and library budgets shrink, the longevity of collections becomes an increasingly important issue. To minimize harm to collections, librarians need to emphasize the importance of preservation and proper handling. This professional reference explains how to create, implement and evaluate formal and informal preservation education programs in school, public, academic, and special collections. Chapters are written by contributors from a wide range of positions in librarianship and academia. Building on the assumption that most misuse is because of misunderstanding or lack of understanding, much attention is given to reaching all types of patrons and changing attitudes. Because preservation largely depends on the attitude of patrons, much attention is given to reaching all types of patrons. Informing adults to avoid misuse and teaching children to respect books and to handle them carefully are two different methods. Visual messages using posters, bookmarks, and signs to educate can help prevent damage. Library staff, on the other hand, benefit from training programs, which can effectively include tests and videos. Users of rare and archival materials can be informed through brochures, and one-on-one interaction with librarians. The volume includes over 35 illustrative case studies, and it concludes with an extensive bibliography and videography.

Beyond Survival: Managing Academic Libraries in Transition
Elizabeth J. Wood , Rush Miller , and Amy Knapp Manufacturer: Libraries Unlimited ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1591583373 |
Book Description
While there is a great deal of anecdotal evidence that significant organizational changes are taking place in academic libraries, the literature suggests that most of these changes take the form of evolutionary, or incremental improvement. But what happens when libraries find themselves in a society characterized by increased information availability compression of time and space, and growing turbulence and unpredictability? These are conditions with which the business world has been grappling for years, conditions that require not an evolutionary approach, but nimbleness and rapid response. One part theory (borrowed from business world), one part practice (including detailed case studies of the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Arizona), one part inspiration, Beyond Survival shows you how the transition tactics and strategies developed by businesses can be adapted to academic libraries. By judiciously adopting the same organizational development tools and concepts espoused by the business world, academic libraries can not only survive in the short term, but can take advantage of emergent opportunities to ensure long-term excellence.
