Antonucci, Carl and Sharon Clapp (eds). The LITA Leadership Guide: The Librarian as Entrepreneur, Leader, and Technologist<http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2017/08/the-lita-leadership-guide-librarian-as.html>. Roman & Littlefield, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-4422-7902-5.

The LITA Leadership Guide from the American Library Association division charged with information technology brings together three important professional development topics -- leadership, entrepreneurship, and technology -- in one volume, uniting theory, practice, and case studies from experienced colleagues in the field.

Topics include: cultivating creativity, career pivots, forecasting and planning for change, keeping tech and leadership skills ahead of the curve, and incorporating lessons and knowledge from across sectors. Additional concepts include: professional development, evaluating risk, overcoming barriers to innovation, and seeding success in your career and organization.

The book will help librarians at every level of the career ladder and will supplement leadership and skill-based training workshops. Library leadership teams interested in the development of their staff as a means of improving their organizational performance will find this book to provide context for growth, training, and collaboration.

This book provides big-picture concepts that affect the many stages of a librarian's career:
*         "Librarian as Leader",
*         "Librarian as Entrepreneur", and
*         "Librarian as Technologist"

and thus is suitable for staff development, discussion groups, or courses. This LITA Guide will help librarians understand how to chart their career development across these three foundational platforms, and become familiar with how peers have successfully created positive change for themselves, and their libraries, as leaders, entrepreneurs, and technologists.

Alman, Susan W. and Jennifer Jumba (eds). MOOCs Now: Everything You Need to Know to Design, Set Up, and Run a Massive Open Online Course<http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2017/08/moocs-now.html>. Santa Barbara, California: Libraries Unlimited, 2017. ISBN: 978-1-4408-4457-7.

Use this practical and realistic guide to make the right decisions about whether and how to offer MOOCs.

Learn from experts who have created and presented Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that can reach a vast audience, and discover how to develop and present this new online form of continuing education.

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) have become popular with eager learners as well as some educators wanting to test the boundaries of learning. Understandably, many educators approach MOOCs with trepidation and a number of questions. Are MOOCs simply a fad? Does this new venue threaten traditional higher education models? How are teachers to be remunerated for their efforts? And what can be done about student retention in an anonymous venue of a MOOC?

This book answers these questions and many more, offering a practical and realistic guide to MOOCs-one that will help anyone involved in higher education to better understand MOOCs and enable them to make decisions about whether and how to offer MOOCs. The authors address topics such as the various costs of offering a MOOC (teachers, developers, licensing, and software), explain accessibility options, examine the challenges of copyright and the administration required, and explore what the librarian's role should be. This insightful guide also explains your options for the presentation of text, video, and audio content; whether to give assignments or tests; and how to decide whether you should offer your MOOC for free or require a fee and offer a certificate upon course completion.


*         Covers the phenomenon of MOOCs from the perspective of veteran librarians-the first book to do so

*         Offers in-depth understanding and practical guidance to those considering offering MOOCs

*         Identifies the pitfalls to avoid and outcomes to pursue with this fast-growing trend in educational technology and online learning

*         Presents balanced coverage of the subject that provides readers with the pros as well as the cons in considering a MOOC

Albitz, Becky, Christine Avery, and Diane Zabel (eds). Leading in the New Academic Library<http://osl-lis.blogspot.com/2017/08/leading-in-new-academic-library.html>. Santa Barbara, California: Libraries Unlimited, 2017. ISBN-978-1-4408-5113-1.

"Leadership" isn't just a buzzword; it's a critical competency for anyone looking to achieve success in the academic library's evolving culture and environment.

Providing perspectives of practitioners who are early- and mid-career librarians as well as highly seasoned professionals, this book offers invaluable advice regarding leadership that will help academic librarians of all experience levels to surmount the confounding issues they face and to overcome new challenges.

Academic libraries and librarianship have dramatically evolved in recent years-in everything from their collections and facilities to their relationships with faculty and internal and external partners. These changes demand different mindsets and new skills on the part of librarians. This book explains how the quality of leadership is the key component of successfully implementing innovative service and practices-and as a result, of the success of the library itself. To that end, it offers practical guidelines for implementing leadership principles and achieving success in this evolving culture.

Co-edited by a team of three highly experienced academic librarians, Leading in the New Academic Library gives actionable advice regarding subjects like helping staff gain new competencies, leading from the middle, and succession planning. The content also addresses hot topics such as the academic library's new role, the integration of IT into library organization and infrastructure, making data-driven decisions, renovating a library space to meet changing user needs, and collaborating with internal as well as external partners.

*         Introduces academic librarians and students to key management issues and provides effective ways to address them
*         Demonstrates how qualities of leadership can be cultivated for career success
*         Provides up-to-date guidance on leadership skills as they apply in the academic library setting, skills which may not be covered in traditional textbooks for courses in library management and academic librarianship
