dc.description.abstract | Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to explore issues related to the development of long-term
planning for the municipal/public libraries in Greece. In Greece, municipal libraries constitute the
largest category of public libraries. Although over the last decade efforts have been made to enhance
their services, municipal/public libraries appear to be still in search of a purpose and are at a crossroad.
Design/methodology/approach – An empirical qualitative research study was conducted in order
to examine the efforts made so far to develop long-term plans and to study the attitudes and views of
Greek municipal libraries’ heads concerning the development of long term plans. The empirical
research was carried out early in the second half of 2007, utilizing a specifically developed
questionnaire distributed to 194 municipal library representatives, 100 of which agreed to participate
in the study.
Findings – A number of current issues facing Greek municipal libraries are studied along with an
overview of the strategic plans already developed. The perceptions of 100 municipal library directors
in regard to developing strategic plans are recorded and the results overall suggest the need for formal
long-term planning in the municipal/public libraries in Greece.
Originality/value – This paper contributes to the discussion on the development of long-term
planning aimed at municipal libraries in Greece. It is one of the very few studies providing empirical
evidence based on the views of municipal/public library directors in Greece. | en |
