Hi everyone,
Back in July, I requested information about school library strategic plans. Some of you were interested in the results. Here is a list of resources (books, articles, and examples of strategic plans) that I found useful. I am in the process of creating a strategic plan for my library. I am attaching an outline and timeline of the steps I am following to
create the plan. Please let me know if you have other questions.

Kerry and Melissa,
I think this could turn into a great resource and would like to see any of the responses you get also. Probably many LMS would. Would one of you mind compiling the results in some way?
