Adapt, Act and Thrive

Do You Have A Strategy to Ensure Your Library is Sustainable?

A white paper based on an SLA 2014 Conference panel session

The current information industry landscape is filled with challenges that require tangible solutions and present real opportunities for success when effectively confronted. Believing that librarians and knowledge managers can face these challenges to “Adapt, Act and Thrive,” Lucidea convened a panel of visionary information professionals for a round table discussion at the 2014 Special Libraries Association conference. Sharing their best practices and success stories, panelists provide information professionals with many tangible examples of how they can adapt to challenges, act, and thrive within their organizations and profession.

Panelists shared their best practices for:

• Embedding themselves within their organizations
• Demonstrating value
• Engaging end users
• Managing vendor relationships
• Ensuring and leveraging “info-ubiquity”
