Abstract

A department manager's retirement led the O’Neill Library to reexamine its organizational structure, and to analyze the ways in which it no longer fit the work that was performed. Since its last re-organization, many problems had been improved upon, a new-next-generation library system was implemented, and more content is electronic.
