Abstract
Presents some definitions of strategic planning in the management literature, followed by an explanation of its importance in library management. Stresses the value of mission statements, goals and objectives, and a SWOT analysis, and gives advice on identifying strategic issues, formulating strategies, implementing the plan and performance measurement. Considers finance, staffing, stock management and information technology, and concludes with a case study of the use of strategic planning in an academic library.
