Dewey Goes Corporate: Examining the Suitability of Kotter's Change Management Model for Use in Libraries.

Kotter's work, Leading Change, has been an outline for corporate change management initiatives since its publication in 1996. However, little research has been done on applying his 8-step model to change management in libraries. This article examines the suitability of Kotter's steps for use in a library setting and concludes that based on existing literature, it is an appropriate model for library leaders to follow as they implement change at the institution.
