• This is a rare look at library management in the community college context, and should prove useful to new and seasoned managers alike.

• [A] fine collection of essays written by experienced, respected librarians in the field. I wish I had it by my side when I stumbled into the surprisingly rewarding job of a community college library director three years ago....What makes this work unique is that it gives the library manager information from three perspectives: reference and collection management librarians on the front line; professional experts from the outside fields of human resource management and marketing; and experienced directors and deans. Especially useful are the numerous essays by community college library administrators all brought together in a convenient single volume. For the new library manager, these three different perspectives are all useful.
