A New Strategic Planning Model for Academic Libraries	1994-03-01	12	.pdf	application/pdf	3569	175	45	1 The journal literature discusses such subjects as the appropriateness of strategic planning for libraries, the incorporation of organizational values into the strategic planning process, the entrepreneurial spirit, implementation and first-year ap- praisal, and utilization of strategic plan- ning by new directors at ARL libraries.2 There are also studies of strategic planning in public libraries, state chapters, a school of library and information science, urban libraries, rural libraries, national libraries, and internationallibraries.3 The Association of Research Libraries issued a SPEC Kit on strategic planning as early as 1984, and the Association of College and Research Libraries has offered a continuing education course (Principles of Strategic Planning in the Library Environmenf') and developed a strategic plan for charting the future direction of the Association.• In addition to publications in the lit- erature of librarianship, libraries have access to the rich corpus of management literature on strategic planning, and are likely to be guided and directed by the broader strategic planning done in their institutional settings. The example of library development and fund-raising activ- ity is used to illustrate the various stages of strategic planning.	cache/crl-14878.pdf	txt/crl-14878.txt
