Libraries have recently begun doing more to support entrepreneurship
and innovation within their communities. Makerspaces and business
incubators have become featured attractions in public and academic
libraries and provide a unique way to reach out to a user group that
can bolster a community in dynamic ways. In this volume of Advances in
Library Administration and Organization, we delve beyond examples and
case studies to look at how library leaders can develop support for
innovation and entrepreneurship within their libraries and within the
profession. Chapters include examinations of design thinking and
space planning, staffing, mission statements, and makerspaces. The
contributors to this volume cover libraries and their activities in
North America, Europe and Africa, and also discuss professional
development in entrepreneurship topics as well as support of
innovation. Libraries are increasing support of entrepreneurship and
innovation across the board, and this volume will position
administrators and managers of libraries to better understand what’s
happening, and how to bring it into their own institutions.
