Managing for Results (MFR) Workforms

Sandra Nelson, Ellen Altman, and Diane Mayo. Managing for Results: Effective Resource Allocation for Public Libraries. American Library Association, 2000.

Every public library, regardless of size, has four important resources to help meet its mission and achieve its goals in the community. Staff, the library's collection, technology, and the library facility itself all need to be carefully managed for the library to achieve the results outlined in its strategic plan. Managing for Results helps librarians to take a proactive approach to marshaling and managing all of the library's resources effectively.

These workforms were created using Microsoft Word. If a workform included calculations, a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet was embedded into the Word document. Just double-click anywhere on the spreadsheet to open the embedded Excel file. You will then be able to enter your data and the totals and other calculations will be computed automatically. All of the instructions for the workforms are Word files.
