Project 2010: A Case for a New Organizational Model*
In December 2006, the Library embarked on a process of reorganization to better serve the community. Called Project 2010 during the planning stages (and Imagine 2010 during implementation), this initiative realigned the library’s organizational structure to meet twenty-first century needs. The new organizational structure is now defined under four key areas: Library Experiences; Community Engagement; Research, Innovation & Strategy; and Organizational Resources. This team is responsible for both the strategic vision and day-to-day operations of the organization. The following position description documents were used as part of the recruiting process for these four key executive positions. During this recruiting process, the library launched the use of the STAR behavioral interviewing technique. Samples of the interviewing guidelines are included below.
