development (OD) philosophy, processes, and tools on a regular basis.
Consequently, we have developed this issue of Library Trends to provide an
overview of organizational development as it is practiced in libraries,
and to explore leadership development within the OD context. This issue
covers a wide range of topics and draws on the literature of many
disciplines. It is meant to serve as a resource for every person who
believes that libraries can be improved in many ways, including how they
acquire, organize, manage, and provide access to information; assess the
needs of customers and provide appropriate services; manage human and
financial resources; plan for the future; fulfill their mission; develop
leadership skills in the staff; and initiate and manage change.
