• Abstract:
  A.J. Million, Research Investigator at the Inter-university Consortium for Political and Social Research (ICPSR) at the University of Michigan, presents research on change management for librarians. New government administrations can bring periods of turbulence, including restructuring libraries. After the new Secretary of State in Missouri restructured the Missouri State Library, Million conducted interviews with people involved and submitted FOIA requests for emails. Million found that five themes emerged and that there’s tension in top-down, mandated changes. The presentation encourages library organizations to participate in lobbying and advocacy at the state and local level.
