Including contributions written by LIS professionals and scholars, the book demonstrates that although many libraries do well at attending to users and managing external information they often fail at taking care of their own employees and addressing internal workplace issues. Acadia and the contributing authors explore the problem of dysfunctional libraries so that the LIS profession can come to terms with the systemic dysfunction in their institutions and begin solution-oriented progress toward new and sustainable functionality. The book analyzes the dysfunctional nature of modern libraries, while simultaneously proposing solutions to reduce and alleviate dysfunction. Through theory and application, it takes an explicit practice-based approach with the intent to inform and explain dysfunction as experienced in the library workplace at individual and structural levels and perspectives. Libraries as Dysfunctional Organizations and Workplaces brings the dysfunction discourse to the attention of LIS academics and scholars so that further theoretical and empirical research can proceed from and subsequently be addressed in library and information schools. The book will also be essential reading for librarians and LIS students currently working or preparing to work in public, college, and university libraries.  aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 0aLibrary personnel management.992852 0aLibrary employeesxJob satisfaction.992853 0aOrganizational change.957774 0aLibraries.965490 7aBUSINESS & ECONOMICS / Workplace Culture2bisacsh9574481 aAcadia, Spencer,eeditor.964525403Taylor & Francisuhttps://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/9781003159155423OCLC metadata license agreementuhttp://www.oclc.org/content/dam/oclc/forms/terms/vbrl-201703.pdf  cE-Books  c67409d67409
