In my Public Library Administration class at UA we were divided into two groups and given a particular county and library system in Kentucky in which we were to gather the data necessary to begin mapping out a five year plan. Because it was just an exercise and the libraries were unaware of the assignment we could not contact them. We could only use census and county data and the library’s own website for our information. The exercise was fun but also frustrating because it is difficult if not impossible to do a S.W.O.T. analysis without input and feedback. What the exercise taught me is how important all those S.W.O.T. analysis meetings we did at GPLS as well as the team meetings. They are a vital part of the planning process. I am really enjoying this process.
