The political climate, demographics, the economic state of the union, and technological change all can affect the library adversely. Or these changes can be seen as challenges and opportunities to move the library in the right direction-and always forward. How well librarians respond to and manage change will spell the difference between success in achieving the library mission and a library that is always slow to respond to change. Strategic management arms librarians with the ability to work with external changes proactively to achieve the library's mission. Strategic management is the ability to envision the future and implement the vision.
