Explore how GLAM institutions are navigating new leadership styles and organizational frameworks to help meet the challenges posed by a digital society.
During this time of digital transformation, galleries, libraries, archives, and museums (GLAMs) are facing a generational challenge that calls on them to rethink their roles and responsibilities, re-evaluate policies and practices, and re-envision creative management and use of their collections. While AI is not new for GLAMs, the rapid development of generative AI has accelerated the pace of change along with a host of risks and benefits. For cultural heritage institutions, the stakes for implementing emerging AI technologies are high as GLAMs navigate questions relating to cultural relevance, limited resources and expanding backlogs of digital collections. GLAMs must also contend with the major intellectual and social implications for supporting entirely new approaches to learning, scholarship and public engagement. As GLAMs strive to keep pace, this book turns to explore how cultural heritage institutions can draw on a model of digital leadership to help them meet the challenges posed by the ethical implementation and use of generative AI in the stewardship of distinctive collections. Although digital leadership has been widely written about in the fields of business management, communication and marketing and information technology, it has not yet been addressed in a book format for the GLAM sector. In addition to discussing the basic definition and concepts of digital leadership, this book explores digital leadership as a critical framework for GLAMs to advance digital stewardship programs, professional development and staff training initiatives, and institutional advocacy in the age of AI.

This book is for librarians, trustees, local government officials, architects, and interior designers who are designing or planning to build, renovate, or reconfigure library spaces.
Most librarians embark upon a library building project with little experience in space planning, architecture, or construction. Written by a registered architect and professional librarian, this is a guidebook for librarians embarking on a library building project. It includes a brief history of library facilities, placing them in the context of public buildings. An introduction to library planning principles and a discussion of library design concepts and trends are presented, including the impact of the 2020 pandemic on library design. Sections on working with architects, building design/construction terminology and the basics of reading architectural drawings provide insight into unfamiliar jargon and visual communication. Extensive illustrations and photographs show examples of library layouts and furniture and equipment, and the final chapter addresses the challenges inherent in a major building project.
As library services change, buildings must adapt to accommodate and provide these new innovations. Buildings are living things, and this book will offer guidance to those embarking on a project of any scale or size.

This 30th anniversary edition celebrates the lasting value and enduring legacy of Carol C. Kuhlthau's influential Information Search Process framework.
The publication of Seeking Meaning in 1993 marked a watershed moment in how we think about information seeking. The Information Search Process (ISP) model it introduced helped generations of educators prepare students for the increasingly complex information environments they would encounter, and its central findings have only grown in importance during the last 30 years.
For the first time in this anniversary edition, Kuhlthau's canonical research is supplemented with new essays by scholars influenced by her work, making it timely and required reading for students of library and information science and an invaluable resource for anyone providing library and information services. Heidi Julien and Chirag Shah each explore the lasting influence of Kuhlthau's model and point toward new directions for future research, while Leslie Maniotes examines the connection between the ISP, the Guided Inquiry Design Framework, and the model's impact on education
Seeking Meaning offers a detailed description of the ISP and a framework for a process approach to library and information services. The ISP has helped to illuminate the user's perspective on information seeking and has offered insights into pressing problems of seeking meaning in an overabundance of information.
This evergreen text explores the implementation of a process approach to library and information services in education, an investigation of these concepts in the workplace, and a treatment of systems and systems design.

This book takes a look at the future of technical services post-pandemic and at the brink of technological disruptions through a diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility lens.
Libraries have undergone a tremendous transformation that has been driven by multiple factors that include technological developments, and societal impacts such as declining college enrollment and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has introduced changes to how technical services professionals work and provide services. Whereas the library is often perceived by users as a building to house print books and journals, the reality is that the library encompasses both physical and virtual spaces. For many users, the library's online catalog and website are their first (and perhaps only) experience with the library. Our user community is global, and technical services work has evolved to serve users with a growing array of electronic resources, including e-books, databases, and e-journals. These resources differ from their print counterparts in that they cost more, require licenses and contracts that must continually need to be renegotiated and renewed, must comply with accessibility standrards, and require different skill sets to catalog. The virtual spaces and services libraries provide are built on the foundation provided by technical services librarians.
Assessment is an important, yet often overlooked, aspect of technical services work, and is addressed in this book. It is critical for collection development and acquisition of electronic resources. It is also an important component of the work of electronic resources librarians, who monitor usage and trends.
Developing an appropriate skill set for technical services work is essential for success. This includes knowing the standards for the work performed, awareness of emerging standards, and remaining relevant.

School librarians are often in a tricky position because they bear the brunt of political movements but also play a key role in the wider school community. Experienced librarian Hilda K. Weisburg offers a practical approach to help all librarians get more involved while overcoming resistance.
Weisburg unveils the 5 Cs (Confident, Committed, Connected, Communicator, Change Agent), 5 Ps (Passionate, Purposeful, Planner, Professional, Powerful), and 3 Ls (Listener, Learner, Leader) that will help you on your journey. Part I describes how you can recognize your own skills in these areas. Part II has you apply these qualities to improve your interactions with students, teachers, and administrators. And Part III has you apply these concepts to your interactions with the wider community - parents, the library community, and the business community. Each Part ends with a reflection chapter using the four Domains of AASL's National School Library Standards: Think, Share, Create, and Grow.
Both new and experienced school librarians and media specialists will gain valuable ideas for strengthening their programs at a time when school libraries, librarians, and the value they bring are under attack.

With book banning increasing around America, this book breaks down how and why contemporary reading practices can lead to censorship.
Requests for the redaction, removal, relocation, and restriction of books-also known as challenges-have markedly increased in the 2020s. Book Banning in 21st-Century American Libraries, based on 25 contemporary book challenge cases in schools and public libraries across the United States argues that understanding contemporary reading practices, especially interpretive strategies, is vital to understanding why people attempt to censor books in public institutions.
The books focuses on the why of censorship and posits that many censorship behaviors and practices, such as challenging books and targeting public libraries and schools, are intimately tied to the how one understands the practice of reading and its effects on character development and behavior. It discusses reading as a social practice that has changed over time and encompasses different physical modalities and interpretive strategies. In order to understand why people challenge books, it presents a model of how the practice of reading is understood by challengers including "what it means" to read a text, and especially how one constructs the idea of "appropriate" reading materials.

Responding to the recent de-anthropocentric 're-turn' of practice-based studies, Gherardi considers the search for non-rationalist and non-cognitivist approaches to the process of working and organizing. With fully updated chapters throughout, this third edition further elaborates on a posthumanist theory of practice, providing a guiding compass for understanding how humans and more-than-humans interact within working practices. Chapters highlight the sociomateriality of practicing and the role of vibrant materiality, emphasising the researchers' bodily capacity of affecting and being affected while conducting fieldwork as insiders of the practices they study.
This is a vital resource for any scholars of practice theories, especially those interested in posthumanist practice theory, as well as management and organizational studies. Postgraduate students and early-career researchers seeking insight into the development of practice-based studies will also find this book indispensable.

Discover the rich history and deep cultural significance of spices, from defining the flavors of regional cuisines to spurring Western exploration and colonialism.
This book examines spices from a variety of perspectives, including their impact on culinary traditions, role in health and medicine, and influence on world economics and geopolitics for hundreds of years. More than 125 entries profile individual spices, regional cuisines, influential locations and trade routes, key issues in the modern spice trade, and much more. Entries on individual spices include information about the plant, its geographic distribution, history and cultural significance of its use, and any contemporary threats or concerns. Each entry includes cross-referencing and a list of further readings, allowing readers to both broaden and deepen their understanding of the subject. Sidebars supplement the main text, offering bite-sized, high-interest facts.
Spices have been an important part of human culture for thousands of years. They were used to flavor and preserve food, as medicine, and even in religious practices. European demand for spices from the Middle East, Asia, and beyond created a complex network of merchants and trade routes, producing economic powerhouses and forever changing the culinary landscape of the Western world. Although the spice trade connected people and cultures across the globe, the insatiable quest for spices and the wealth they brought also contributed heavily to the rise of colonialism. This legacy of exploitation endures even today, with concerns over issues such as fair labor practices and environmental degradation leaving a bitter taste in the mouths of spice producers worldwide.
