We can’t make that decision without invoking values, and the moment we start invoking values is when the conversation can take a really difficult and interesting turn.” When it’s time for your organization to make choices and set priorities, this collection of essays, articles, white papers, and blog posts will provide conversation starters for your strategic discussions. Anderson offers engaging, persuasive arguments on a range of timely topics, such as:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe decline of print;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epatron-driven acquisitions;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Access (OA);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eblacklisting publishers and relations with publishers’ sales reps;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epatron privacy;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esymptoms of zealotry;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eunintended consequences of the print-on-demand model; and\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ehow to define library value\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e.
