Reports results of a questionnaire survey, conducted as part of a study of the use of project management techniques and software in UK libraries, involving university librarians and Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib) project managers. These managers were asked about their experience in using formal project methodologies and project software. A case study of project management, at the Robinson Library, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, is used to illustrate conventional project control methods by analyzing past projects. Outlines a formal structured project management framework which was adopted for projects in the 1997/1998 session following training in the use of project management techniques and software. Draws preliminary conclusions about the effectiveness of this change. (Further details of the project can be found at URL http://www.ncl.ac.uk/library/projects/projman/index.htm and there is a mailbase discussion list at lis-proj-man@mailbase.ac.uk).
