The application of the principles of the Strategic Management in University Libraries was studied with an aim to evaluate if they really do exist and what are the methods of planning adopted by part of the managers of the System of Libraries (SB) the Federal University of Ceará (UFC). In this manner, they contribute, along with the presentation, a route of Strategic Planning with possible applications to the UFC System of Libraries. Such a study bases itself in the bibliographical, documental and field research, qualitative. One technique utilized in the collection of primary data, were two questionnaires that were structured with open and closed questions, including opinion scale based in the measure of Likert, applied to the actual direction of the SB/UFC and to the managers of the UFC’s libraries. The obtained were transcribed into graphics to better visualize the incidence of the answers. The Strategic Management model adopted in university libraries is indicated because it is a management model proofed as compatible with the activities developed by this type of informational unity. It presents the retrospective results of studies realized by the SB/UFC’s work team in which the strategic confirms the viability of the adoption of this management method, having, by means of valuations of the actual conditions, the base of the view of facts and events, that are indicators of the future, related through the analysis of market potential Strengths Weaknesses Opportunities Treats (SWOT) matrix, of the referred System. One can affirm, therefore, that such management method demonstrates highly inspiring results, consolidating the growth of the organizational management learning, in the pursuit of achieving levels of excellence amid the constant changes and the adequacy of the use of human and material resources available for the development of sector, that has as aim to consolidate as a basis to the teaching, researching and extension, through the constant improvement of the provided services to the academic community inside and outside the UFC. / Planejar constitui uma atividade natural e, muitas vezes, intuitiva na vida das pessoas; entretanto, ao se referir à gestão de um setor tão importante quanto a Biblioteca Universitária, essencial ao desenvolvimento das atividades de ensino, pesquisa e extensão depara-se a necessidade da utilização de um método gerencial estruturado, mediante o qual seja possível garantir que as estratégias traçadas possam ser traduzidas em termos operacionais. As aplicações dos princípios da Gestão Estratégica em Bibliotecas Universitárias foram estudadas com o propósito de avaliar se realmente existem e quais são os métodos de planejamento adotados por parte dos gestores do Sistema de Bibliotecas da Universidade Federal do Ceará (SB/UFC), buscando, assim, contribuir com a apresentação de um roteiro de Planejamento Estratégico com possíveis aplicações ao SB/UFC. Tal estudo se baseia na pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de campo, com natureza qualitativa sobre o tema. Foram usados, como técnica para coleta de dados primários, dois questionários estruturados com perguntas abertas e fechadas, incluindo escala de opinião baseada na medida de Likert, aplicado à atual direção do SB/UFC e aos gestores das bibliotecas da UFC. Os dados foram transcritos em gráficos para melhor visualização. O modelo da Gestão Estratégica adotado em bibliotecas universitárias é indicado por ser um modelo gerencial comprovadamente compatível com as atividades desenvolvias por esse tipo de unidade informacional; apresenta ainda os resultados retrospectivos de estudos realizados pela equipe de trabalho do SB/UFC, nos quais as análises estratégicas comprovam a viabilidade da adoção desse método gerencial, tendo por meio de avaliações das condições atuais a base da visão de fatos e eventos indicadores do futuro, relatadas pela análise de potencial mercadológico Strengths Weaknesse Opportunities Treats matriz (SWOT), bem como do Balanced Scorecard (BSC) do referido Sistema. Pode-se afirmar, portanto, que tal método da gestão demonstra resultados inspiradores, ao consolidar o crescimento da aprendizagem gerencial organizacional, na busca de patamares de excelência em meio às constantes mudanças e à adequação do uso dos recursos humanos e materiais disponíveis para o desenvolvimento do setor, que tem por finalidade se consolidar como alicerce para o ensino, pesquisa e extensão, mediante a constante melhoria dos serviços prestados à comunidade acadêmica interna e externa da UFC.

This study has been undertaken to determine and examine the managerial competencies required by library managers at different managerial levels in effectively managing change in university libraries in South Africa. South African universities have experienced a large number of changes since 1994 which have inevitably affected the libraries of these universities. Library managers have been faced with a number of challenges. The study includes a literature review which highlights the findings that library managers in university libraries in South Africa, are not prepared to manage change. The literature review also identifies the competencies that are required to manage change. These are: • Communication • Planning and administration • Teamwork • Strategic action • Global awareness • Self-management. The following management functions are also highlighted in the literature review: • Job descriptions • Job/person specifications • Human resource planning • Recruitment and selection of staff • Staff appraisal • Staff training and development. Questionnaires were used to gather data from the population of the study. The data was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Scientists (SPSS) Version 15. The main findings of the study are: • Library managers in the university libraries are not equipped to manage change • First line managers do not require any of the competencies to manage change. • Middle managers require communication competencies and teamwork competencies. • Communication competencies, planning and administration competencies, teamwork competencies and strategic action competencies are required by senior managers to manage change. Based on the descriptive statistics and the hypotheses tested, this study provides a basis for a model that identifies the competencies and managerial functions that are required by the different managerial levels to manage change in university libraries in South Africa. Recommendations include that: • Library schools introduce a module on change management • Competencies to be work shopped to all levels of library managers • Structured training needs to be undertaken that cover all managerial functions • A management qualification must become a minimum requirement for all managerial jobs in university libraries • All senior managers should at least have a management major in their first degree or a Master of Business Administration (MBA). / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2009.
