Given that a large number of university library directorships have become available in recent years, and that this trend will probably continue for the foreseeable future, it is likely that not everyone who applies for these positions and is invited for an interview knows how to prepare for the experience, or how to read organizational and institutional climates. Based on interviews with 10 first-time and seasoned directors, this study reviews the process from the perspective of those who have recently accepted a directorship.
Research highlights
► Applicants for academic library directorships often lack knowledge of the process.
► They may not know how to read organizational and institutional climates.
► Ten new and seasoned directors reflect on the process through interviews.
