Library Supply Chain Management for Collection Services of Academic Libraries: Solving Operational Challenges and Enhancing User Productivity contains three sections, each comprised of several topical chapters on a particular subject. Part One explains why supply chain management is vital to libraries. Part Two builds on Part One, beginning with a classic supply chain model, including its brief history and current development. Part Three suggests a theoretical supply chain model based on emerging technological advancements of society. This model will develop based on four components, user goals, workflow efficiency, financial stewardship and core services.
- Introduces supply chain management to library and information science
- Provides the first study on supply chain integration for libraries to fulfill their mission in knowledge management and delivery
- Provides practitioners and researchers with a model and theoretical framework of the supply chain to further study library science
- Inspires researchers and practitioners to embrace or adopt emerging technologies for service and operational optimization
