La très catastrophique visite du zoo

Joël Dicker

Description

This book provides a 'no-nonsense' guide to project
management which will enable library and information professionals to lead or take part in a wide range
of projects from large-scale multi-organisation complex projects through to
relatively simple local ones.

Barbara Allan has fully revised and updated her classic 2004
title 'Project Management' to
incorporate considerable developments
during the past decade, including: the development and wide-scale acceptance of
formal project management methodologies; the use of social media to communicate
and disseminate information about projects and the large shift in the types of
project library and information workers may be involved in.
The text is supported by practical case studies drawn from a
wide range of LIS organizations at local, regional, national and international
levels. These examples provide an insight into good practice for the
practitioner, from an individual working in a voluntary organization on an
extremely limited budget, to someone involved in an international project.
Content covered includes:

an introduction to project management, project workers and
the library and information profession

different approaches to project management, the project
cycle, the people side of projects and management of change

discussion of project methodologies, project management
software, open source software, collaborative working software and use of
