“Many people define themselves, at least in part, by the work they do. Therefore, it is generally important to them to do a good job. A salesperson generally experiences a sense of satisfaction after making a large sale. Similarly, a student usually feels good after receiving an outstanding grade on an exam or assignment. You may enjoy some spring cleaning each year. However, perfectionism may get in the way of your performance at work, home, or school. Even if your performance is not affected directly, perfectionism may still reduce your ability to enjoy work or may influence the ways in which you treat others at work.”

Learn how to stay ahead of the game when budgets and staff are cut

Medical Library Downsizing: Administrative, Professional, and Personal Strategies for Coping with Change explores corporate downsizing and other company-wide events as they relate to medical librarians in their organization. This training manual is designed to help librarians prepare for a new era where shrinking budgets, inflated journal costs, and the increasing demand for new and expensive services now put salaries and jobs at risk. While focused on health care issues, this book will appeal to a general library audience and can be used in a graduate course in library administration, corporate librarianship, or hospital librarianship.

Medical Library Downsizing investigates the BCEs (Bad Corporate Events) that can negatively affect a librarian, including:
  • an across-the-board budget cut
  • a downsizing
  • a restructuring (also called a re-organization or re-engineering)
  • a buyout
  • a merger
  • a consolidation
With Medical Library Downsizing, you will learn how to prepare for the possibility of a BCE, what signs to look for that a BCE is about to take place, and how to weather the storm. The book provides the typical patterns for a downsizing, budget cut, merger, or pension buyout—teaching you step-by-step to make the most out of each possible scenario. This unique guide uses sardonic wit and entertaining examples to bring home each lesson, making Medical Library Downsizing a vital asset to librarians in any field.

Medical Library Downsizing will help you deal with:
  • consultants who recommend downsizing and outsourcing
  • staff communications
  • planning your survival—and your escape route
  • presentations to help you keep your job
  • implementing change
  • re-training staff
  • and more

How can the food crisis Africa drylands be challenged? Concern over sustainable livelihoods in Africa dryland areas is an issue that has received a considerable amount of attention from researchers and policy makers alike. In the face of food crisis it is common for literature to focus on issues labeled as “coping”. Drylands are described in terms of what they lack, rather than in terms of the potentials they have. This study examines the potential of dryland resources in the semiarid areas of Central Tanzania. The food situation is examined from a historical perspective and special attention is focused on the role of local knowledge.

Coping strategies are analyzed by taking into account the socio-economic differences that exist among households to mobilize labor is a crucial factor in determining their respective abilities to control seasonality. The scope varies for different wealth groups to develop more pro-active livelihood strategies from immediate coping strategies. Furthermore, the different land-based strategies are assessed from economic, social and environmental perspectives.

In 1998, “the flood of the century” covered more than two-thirds of Bangladesh, causing crop losses of 2.04 million tons of rice, an amount equal to 10.45 percent of target production in 1998/99. This flood threatened the health and lives of millions through food shortages caused by crop failure, loss of purchasing power, and the spread of water-borne disease. Yet very few flood-related deaths occurred, and reportedly none was due to food shortages. This report, based on data from a survey of 757 rural households in seven flood-affected regions (thanas) conducted in November and December 1998 and on analysis of secondary data on food grain markets, describes how Government of Bangladesh policy, well-functioning private markets, household coping strategies, and donor and NGO interventions combined to avert a major food crisis. To further enhance its food security, Bangladesh needs continued investments in agricultural research, extension, roads, electricity and other rural infrastructure, policies promoting efficient markets, and programs to provide targeted transfers and credit to poor households.
