"For libraries and librarians looking for ideas off the beaten track, this book will provide some excellent ones. Recommended for public and academic librarians." --Catholic Library World
This book should be included in any professional literature collections for libraries looking to innovate. But above all other audiences, this book is for those in libraries looking to be inspired and to do something new. As R. David Lankes says in his introduction, '[t]his book is one side of a conversation; add the other side. Link these ideas into your practice, but also
deeper concepts and theories. Use these ideas, these points, these work plans as
a foundation for a larger personal network of innovation. If readers of this book take on Lankes challenge, the field will be better for it." --Technical Services Quarterly
