Project management, as both a skill set and a discipline, offers structure and a path forward for continual improvement and change management within libraries. Most importantly for technical services, project management creates processes that can fairly and transparently indicate how resources are allocated and guide technical services departments as they prioritize needs. Helping staff build their own project management toolkit, this book will allow readers to pick and choose which practices work best for their own situation. You will

  • discover ways to integrate project management skills into your daily work;
  • learn how to apply project management at a departmental level; and
  • delve into case studies which illuminate issues related to technology, including library management system migrations, digital repository development, and electronic resource management, as well as common scenarios like high density storage and weeding, and moving or consolidating collections.

Elizabeth German is the assistant director for library assessment and user experience at Princeton University Library. Previously she was an associate professor and the service design librarian at Texas A&M University Libraries, where she focused on bringing together user experience, project management, and accessibility in order to provide quality user experiences for researchers and learners. She holds a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification from the Project Management Institute.

John J. Ballestro is the director of collection development and acquisition services and the subject selector for graphic novels at Texas A&M University's Sterling C. Evans Library. He is an avid comic book reader, likes Kirk over Picard, and his house words could be "Winter is Coming" but are more likely to be "Wednesday is new comics day!"
