| Summary |
Annotation This volume explores the current Canadian academic library environment, and the need for succession planning there. A literature review demonstrates the lack of reported succession planning activities in Canadian academic libraries, whilst site visits and in-depth interviews with professional librarians at six libraries across Canada highlight best practices and barriers to succession planning. These best practices and barriers are then addressed in individual chapters, with tips and strategies for library leaders |
