Thank you for sharing. I did a quick search of the use of the term "Change-Agent" in the Lib.Lit. database.
It is a subject-heading, btw.
The term is used for many things (changing library culture to be innovative with Technolgy).
Often the word "change" was meant to change focus of service. In 1979 I co-edited an issue of Library Trends with Margaret Monroe (link provided).
