Abstract

Considers the vocabulary employed by writers of library planning documents, and analyses the terms used for the various concepts. Notes that concepts are often given diverse terminology in planning documents, and that frequently there are inconsistencies in the application of concepts as well as terms. Proposes definitions for three key concepts: mission, plan and goal.
