Enacting the Library Mission

Managers, more than other staff, have a great responsibility to the organization's mission. Blogs in the academic realm are particularly suited to the mission of academic libraries, where reading, critical thinking, writing and discourse are crucial activities. Blogs can help managers who are looking for creative, relevant ways of enacting their mission.
