Building The Future: Leveraging Facilities Projects as Platforms for Organizational Change

Cartolano, Robert T.; Jaggars, Damon E.; Lancaster, Jeffrey R.; Rockenbach, Barbara A.

Discipline-based digital centers were implemented to support emergent research methodologies, integrated with expertise from librarians and technologists, and information resources. Planning for the facilities and service programs was driven by extensive assessment of user needs. Panelists will discuss the creation of the digital centers as platforms for implementing organizational change within a research library setting from four distinct perspectives: strategic planning and institutional alignment, operational change management, an evolving workforce, and technological innovation and infrastructure.
