  Murphy, Sarah Anne.  The Quality Infrastructure: Measuring, Analyzing and Improving Library Services. Chicago: ALA, 2014. 025.587 Quali    ISBN 978-0-8389-1173-0

A library's infrastructure of programs and personnel is its most valuable asset, providing the foundation for everything it does and aspires to do, which is why assessment is so vitally important. In this collection of case studies, Murphy and her team of contributors describe how quality assessment programs have been implemented and how they are used to continuously improve service at a complete cross-section of institutions. This volume looks at how a program was established within a library organization, the individual roles for staff participating in the program, and singles out which activities and projects were most successful. Describes programs such as the Baldrige Criteria for Performance Excellence, Lean Six Sigma, and ISO 9001:2000 Examines contexts ranging from a liberal-arts college library to key federal government libraries, to libraries that serve major research universities in the United States and Canada. Summarizing specific tools for measuring service quality alongside tips for using these tools most effectively, this book helps libraries of all kinds take a programmatic approach to measuring, analyzing, and improving library services.

ISBN 978-0-8389-1175-4

Using a library's facilities to bring arts to the community is not only a valuable service, but also a wonderful marketing and outreach opportunity, a tangible way to show the public that libraries offer value, thus shoring up grassroots support. Smallwood has combed the country finding examples of programs implemented by a variety of different types of libraries to enrich, educate, and entertain patrons through the arts. Her book shares such successful efforts as
*        Poetry programs in the public library
*        Gatherings for local authors at the community college
*        Creative writing in middle schools
*        Multicultural arts presentations at the university library
*        Initiatives to fight illiteracy through the arts
The amazing creativity and resourcefulness found in each example provide practical models which can be adapted to any library environment, inspiring librarians looking for unique programming ideas.

[book3.jpg]  Leeder, Kim and Eric Frierson, eds. Planning Our Future Libraries: Blueprints for 2025. Chicago: ALA, 2014. 022.3 Plann  ISBN978-0-8389-12072

In an information environment where the only constant is change, many wonder where libraries are headed. This edited collection brings together library leaders with some of the brightest new minds in the profession to envision the future of libraries. Drawing from their personal experiences, they bring their barrier-breaking perspectives to the task of reinventing the library in all its forms. From redesigning library services for the evolving needs of users, to functioning as a meaningful space in a digital age, implementing new infrastructure, and imagining the international future of school libraries, the contributors ask and answer questions such as:
*        How do lessons from the past point the way forward?
*        What should libraries look like in the future?
*        Which safeguards will protect intellectual freedom, such as equitable access to information and anti-censorship policies, now and in years to come?
*        How can we overcome obstacles such as feasibility, costs, and competing interests to realize the library of the future?
This thought-provoking collection will challenge librarians at every kind of institution to start planning today for the library of tomorrow.
