Woo-hoo! I have a new book in the works – ALA will be the publisher again. The preliminary book title is: Learning from Others: Studying Businesses to Identify How to Drive Transformational Change in Libraries. I’m lucky enough to start a four month sabbatical July 1 and my goal is to get the majority of the book written during those four months. Then the book would hopefully be ready for ALA in 2015. I’ll be interviewing a lot of businesses (some local, some regional, a few national) with the goal of identifying lessons from them that might be helpful in driving transformational change (versus incremental change – read the book to learn more!) in libraries. I’m excited about this idea and looking forward to pursuing some new ideas!
