description
Leadership is separate from, but integral to, management; and library directors today and for the foreseeable future can be expected to play an institutional role as they lead the library to contribute towards the mission of their college and university. Similarly, new courses in library leadership now accompany more traditional ones on managing organizations and information resources. However, much of the literature on LIS leadership represents a distilled application of principles and practices borrowed from other disciplines, with few reports of research from the library field. Conceived as a companion to The Next Library Leadership (Libraries Unlimited, 2003), Making a Difference includes not only a discussion of effective attributes, but of issues central to the development of leadership qualities, strategies, and dispositions. Essential reading for anyone interested in advancing the quality of leadership within LIS, particularly academic librarians in or aspiring to positions of managerial leadership.

A companion to The Next Library Leadership (Libraries Unlimited, 2003) this text focuses on the needs of the library and information sciences field, rather than on applying techniques taken from other disciplines. The articles discuss effective attributes and the development of leadership qualities, strategies and dispositions. They consistently distinguish between leadership and management, while explaining the close relationship between the two activities.
