Abstract: In today’s technological environment change has become very imperative considering the sea change in library models and advent of information technology. These days’ libraries are doing their best to deal with these changes to serve the latest need of the library patron. This paper discusses the tools and challenges of change management in the libraries to facilitate their expansion, resources management and service performance. Information services have always been under constant pressure to prove the value of their staff, services and existence to management. The key to success lies in the ability to predict, manage, and exploit change in all areas of work, with change management emerging as a key extended skill which must be added to any information professional’s repertoire. Despite the tendency for information technology, finance and marketing departments to dominate boardroom thinking, the library and information sector still has the opportunity to take control of organizational information strategies, coordinate and drive the technologies and promote library use and benefits. The paper provides useful comprehensive tools to change the traditional libraries. The W4 tool will allow library professionals to determine informally the degree to which their organizational culture is either transformational or transactional in nature.

Abstract: Strategic Planning in Libraries is absolutely necessary in view of the present day rapid advances in technology. Most libraries are in the area of education and research, in a college or University supporting both teaching and research. Strategic planning should be a cooperative effort with inputs from administration, the computer center personnel, faculty, students and the library staff. Role of librarian is increasingly important during the strategic planning, as educator and leader within the process, whether the process happens within the library or in the Institution. The strategic plan developed should offer a pattern that integrates major goals, policies and actions of the institution into a cohesive whole. It should help allocate resources, capitalize on relative strengths and mitigate against weaknesses etc. This paper details well defined strategic plans for the library to set a clear direction, allow looking at the strengths and weaknesses with the environment, and devoting resources to strengthen support in the core areas of teaching and research.
