Sandra Nelson, Strategic Planning for Results. American Library Association, 2008.
The PLA Results Series has long served to help public librarians envision, evaluate, and respond to community needs with distinctive programs and services. Building from this proven model, Strategic Planning for Results is the fully revised version of Planning for Results, the foundational book in this groundbreaking series.
Strategic Planning for Results focuses on the essential steps to draft a results-driven, strategic planning process that libraries can complete over the course of four months, regardless of organizational structure or size. It reflects the current planning environment for public libraries with an emphasis on strategic rather than long-term planning and includes a wealth of information about understanding and managing the change process to help staff. Included are the newly revised and adopted Public Library Service Responses, case studies, workforms, and tool kits. Strategic Planning for Results offers librarians a wealth of ideas to effectively meet changing community needs.
These workforms were created using Microsoft Word. If a workform included calculations, a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet was embedded into the Word document. Just double-click anywhere on the spreadsheet to open the embedded Excel file. You will then be able to enter your data and the totals and other calculations will be computed automatically.
