Project management is used increasingly in the information and library sector (ILS) as an effective approach for: developing new initiatives to improve service delivery; achieving goals within a framework of public sector management; managing change within information related organizations.
Several resources have been developed as an ILS commissioned project for the Higher Education Agency. They provide concise introductions to project management set within the context of the information and library sector. Their purpose is not to replicate the wide range of literature and web resources on project management but to provide useful content and case studies suitable for use with students on ILS professional educational courses. These resources can also be used for staff training within ILS organizations and can be adapted by trainers and educators to fit the user group.
