doi:10.5860/crl.77.5.671 and faculty dynamics weigh heavily in the directions and leadership roles in which the research library can actively partake and partner. The real leadership skills come from an active and dynamic team of librarians and library staff who work together and are led by a dean/director who provides vision and direction, doesn’t micromanage, supports professional development and career mentoring, and prioritizes the library budget toward those services and people who are making the most impact with the users in the local environment. Some of those innovations are mentioned in appendix A, so this is a good place to compare one’s current services with those that are radical innovations. In the end, real change only occurs when the money follows the radical innovations, and that is the real challenge for many library leaders and administrators.—Bradford Lee Eden, Valparaiso University
