Management: Project Management
Abstract
driven, formal project-management training for librarians and other library staff is not necessarily keeping pace. While this scenario is far from ideal, workarounds can be effectively utilized if need be. In this column, Amy Stewart-Mailhiot offers guidance to librarians about how to rely on the proven tools of their trade to successfully manage projects. She suggests that employing such approaches, and applying some dependable rules of thumb—while not optimal—can help pave the way to accomplishing this critical work in the absence of exposure to more structured project-management training.—Editor
