Medical Library Downsizing: Administrative, Professional, and Personal Strategies for Coping with Change by Routledge
Learn how to stay ahead of the game when budgets and staff are cut
Medical Library Downsizing: Administrative, Professional, and Personal Strategies for Coping with Change explores corporate downsizing and other company-wide events as they relate to medical librarians in their organization. This training manual is designed to help librarians prepare for a new era where shrinking budgets, inflated journal costs, and the increasing demand for new and expensive services now put salaries and jobs at risk. While focused on health care issues, this book will appeal to a general library audience and can be used in a graduate course in library administration, corporate librarianship, or hospital librarianship.
Medical Library Downsizing investigates the BCEs (Bad Corporate Events) that can negatively affect a librarian, including:
- an across-the-board budget cut
- a downsizing
- a restructuring (also called a re-organization or re-engineering)
- a buyout
- a merger
- a consolidation
Medical Library Downsizing will help you deal with:
- consultants who recommend downsizing and outsourcing
- staff communications
- planning your survival—and your escape route
- presentations to help you keep your job
- implementing change
- re-training staff
- and more
