Archívum

The PUBLIKA Hungarian Library Group and the Medical Section of the Technical Division of the Association of Hungarian Librarians went on a study trip to Transylvania, Romania in summer 2004. The main objective of the professional visit was to discuss the possible ways of cooperation between libraries in Hungary and Romania.

Libraries of today need to adapt to new conditions and management principles. They need to get familiar with and apply new methods and practices in order to increase the efficiency of their operation. Calls for proposals also contribute to efficient management, as they invite libraries to design special projects for clearly defined purposes, within controllable conditions. Libraries need to lay out appropriate arguments and planning documentation in order that the funding body fully understand the purpose of the project.

The study deals with the different types of management. Operational management relates to the everyday running of an organisation. Strategic management defines the tasks that need to be undertaken in order to adapt to changing conditions. Project management is an occasional task, but it has an important role in carrying out innovative activities in the quickest and most effective way. Finally the author presents a concrete example of the planning and the technical implementation of a project.
