""Acutely attuned to the (dis)incentives and pressures of library and archival work and with an eye toward changing our culture of busyness, Joy Perrin offers a better way forward. Efficiency by Design is a data-driven, communication-based solution to systemic problems in libraries and archives. I used it to analyze processes that turned out not to be processes and those I'd assumed were well-refined, only to find I could, in fact, do it better. Read this (unexpectedly funny) book - it will make your job easier."" --Kristin Loyd, Director, Sowell Family Collection in Literature, Community and the Natural World, Texas Tech University
