Interest in the various workshops I taught on project management in libraries seems to have continued. One of these is a 1-credit class on project management, which was a summer short courses (4 weeks) for LIS students. Course modules introduce defining concepts for new services; initiating and gaining approval for new projects; analyzing target audiences and internal stakeholders; establishing timelines and project schedules; and leading the process of developing and launching a new library service.
The five-class, short course teaching materials are available for free download here.
