When librarians who manage and coordinate Library Instruction programs understand the need for change, they likewise engage in effectively negotiating change. If new and seasoned librarians can efficaciously implement a new initiative, then they will spearhead change. Using the principles of collaboration, library instruction managers can articulate and market their vision to the expansive body of campus constituents and decision makers. Librarians do not always need the formal title to lead collaborative projects and improve services. However, they do need to understand the principles of collaboration and leadership. Leading change within an academic library includes spearheading change within the college’s academic departments. This process is difficult at best because academic policy change moves at a snail’s pace. Librarians who want to be collaborative leaders need to be dedicated, educated in understanding organizational culture, and ready to become change agents.
