A Means Not An End : Designing Co-creation Experience For Library Service InnovationsTang, Carol January 2013 (has links)
Could we have a better way to innovate future library service, so that more creative ideas could be embraced and more people can get involved? Many libraries around the world is in search of a new position and innovating new service in order to stay relevant to their users. What if more people who care enough can join forces and be part of it? In this project, my goal is to design a workshop model and toolkit for library activists to initiate a co-creative experience. I hope people who experienced the creation of workshop can be confident enough to put their creativity into actions. And ultimately more library lovers can impact the way library service is developed. Thanks to the great support from Umeå University Library, LIme — A toolkit for library activist to create effective workshop experience, is created in form of a physical toolkit in combination with a mobile digital platform

Leadership styles of senior librarian in the city of Cape TownDenton, Theresa Leoni January 2013 (has links)
This study investigated the following: “Leadership styles of senior librarians in the City of Cape Town”. Stueart and Moran (1998) state that despite the vast amount of knowledge, training and focus on management, little is known about how to lead efficiently and effectively. The motivation behind this study originated from the assumption that determining the different leadership styles of senior librarians could contribute to a more effective public library service. If senior librarians were made aware of particular outcomes prompted by certain behaviour, they would be empowered to evaluate their leadership styles and adapt them in a more effective way, which could in turn lead to a more effective public library service. Empirical research techniques were used to apply both quantitative and qualitative research methods. Riggs (2001:6) states that librarians need to understand the difference between management and leadership. If senior librarians understand this difference, they will be able to lead more effectively. Hence, this study focused on transformational leadership, a leadership style which looks at the bigger picture, questions the status quo and focuses on improving services (Riggs, 2001:14).
This study aimed to answer the following research questions: What are library managers’ job histories, educational qualifications and historical backgrounds? What are their beliefs about leadership, and how do they view their roles as leaders? Are they emulating a predecessor or leader whom they admire? Do they consciously consider their behaviour, actions and the consequences of their behaviour? In other words, do they apply strategies when they lead? Do managers inspire, motivate and communicate with their staff? Data were collected by means of a questionnaire administered to senior librarians and staff, which allowed the
researcher to explore issues not previously thought of or planned for, and this provided valuable new insight into the problem. The results of this study affirmed that this research could contribute to an awareness of leadership in public libraries, and not only concentrate on management, as this could result in organisations becoming too task-driven, with the associated risk of the destination becoming
more important than the journey itself. / Magister Bibliothecologiae - MBibl

Application of total quality management (TQM) in evaluating the quality of library services at the Aga Khan University LibraryKanguru, Anne Gathoni January 2014 (has links)
The study investigated the service quality of the Aga Khan University (AKU) library as
an example of an academic library in Kenya using SERVQUAL, a user based assessment
tool. Total Quality Management (TQM) philosophy formed the basis of the study; a
philosophy that is customer oriented and lays great emphasis on enhancing customer
satisfaction.
The study adopted a survey design and data was collected using a structured selfadministered
questionnaire by the name of SERVQUAL. The study sample consisted of
nursing and medical faculty; nursing and medical students. A total of 78 (63%)
respondents responded to the questionnaire. The data was analysed using Statistical
Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 17.0. Descriptive statistics was provided and
univariate analysis was applied to examine the characteristics of the 2 main variables;
perceptions and expectations.
The findings of the study established that the expectations of AKU library users are
higher than their perceptions. It is also evident from the findings that there are service
quality gaps in a number of library services offered by AKU library. This is demonstrated
through the gap analysis between the AKU library users‟ perceptions and the users‟
expectations of AKU library.
The study recommends that AKU library as well as other academic libraries in Kenya
adopt user based assessment tools such as SERVQUAL in the evaluation of library
service quality. The study further recommends that AKU library needs to address gaps
between the library users‟ perception and the users‟ expectation in order to enhance
customer satisfaction through the provision of quality services. The study also
recommends that AKU library needs to address the gaps in service attributes such as
those relating to AKU library staff, reliability and efficiency of AKU library service
delivery. In line with the findings the study further recommends more training for AKU
library staff in areas such as customer service skills as well as the need for AKU library
to invest more in its physical facility and equipment. / Information Science / M.A. (Information Science)
