<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Many works have been published on ‘how to do project management’ in librarianship, but there are gaps in coverage of the deeper issues and surrounding processes. For example, what methods have been successfully
used, in the library workplace, to assess efficacy of project management? What are the future trends and implications for library administration and management as formal project management schema become more commonplace in library work? How do these formal
schemas demonstrably affect and improve library workplaces? For this forthcoming volume, we welcome submissions that consider how project management affects library administration and that address the role of project management in the library workplace.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

developments, and in-depth accounts of evidence-based practice in library administration and organization. The series answers the questions, “How have libraries been managed, and how should they be managed?” It goes beyond a platform for the sharing of research
to provide a venue for dialogue across issues, in a way that traditional peer reviewed journals cannot. Through this series, practitioners can glean new approaches in challenging times and collaborate on the exploration of scholarly solutions to professional
quandaries. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
