Distance Learning Librarians: Their Shared Vision, Anne M. Casey
Distance Learning Librarians: Their Shared Vision, Anne M. Casey
Anne Marie Casey
Shared vision is a component of leadership that fosters innovation through buy-in at all levels of the organization. It is often evident in circumstances people see a need for innovation but do not have the power to make changes on their own. Many librarians in academic institutions that were early adopters of distance learning envisioned a need for new services that were tailored to off-campus students. This study examines shared vision among librarians through a content analysis of planning documents from early distance learning library programs. It offers a shared vision model relevant to the study and application of leadership.
