嵌入你的库中的社区:如何克服障碍,牵头开展变革

由史蒂芬五·波特,董事兼首席执行官中部大陆公共图书馆

What happens when your strategic plan blocks attempts at innovative programs?
One of the most innovative and community-changing programs I have seen in several years isCareer Online High School。The immediate impact of this program at the early-adopting libraries was stunning to me. Clearly, a program likeCareer Online High Schoolprovides a very meaningful answer to that tired old question, “Since everyone has a Kindle, do we still need libraries?”

When I sawCareer Online High School, I was amazed but unhappy.I know our strategic plan. I know our key performance indicators. I know our demographics and needs. I knowCareer Online High School不容易对准到我们的战略方向,但我也知道,我们有不同的人口和有社会人士谁可以使用该程序。所以这是故事的结尾,对不对?没有这么快!程序像Career Online High Schoolcan be a great opportunity to create a partnership with another organization.
