N2  - Supply Chain Management for Collection Services of Academic Libraries
Solving Operational Challenges and Enhancing User Productivity
Library Supply Chain Management for Collection Services of Academic Libraries: Solving Operational Challenges and Enhancing User Productivity contains three sections, each comprised of several topical chapters on a particular subject. Part One explains why supply chain management is vital to libraries. Part Two builds on Part One, beginning with a classic supply chain model, including its brief history and current development. Part Three suggests a theoretical supply chain model based on emerging technological advancements of society. This model will develop based on four components, user goals, workflow efficiency, financial stewardship and core services.

Introduces supply chain management to library and information science
Provides the first study on supply chain integration for libraries to fulfill their mission in knowledge management and delivery
Provides practitioners and researchers with a model and theoretical framework of the supply chain to further study library science
Inspires researchers and practitioners to embrace or adopt emerging technologies for service and operational optimization
