Library and Information Center Management Seventh Edition

Subjects:

• Library & Information Science » "Management & Administration -- Budget, Finance, & Fundraising"

Reviews:

• The seventh edition of this management classic has been thoroughly updated, with new chapters on marketing, team building, and ethics, and covers all the essential functions involved in library management. New theories, concepts, and practices currently being developed and used are included. For examples, the virtual library, changing demographics, and customer needs and expectations all demand a reexamination of staff, acquisitions, and technology. Case studies, role-playing situations, "What Do You Think?" exercises, and action mazes complement and emphasize the principles discussed. The companion Web site provides more case studies; the "Budget Case Studies" section is particularly valuable. Additionally, each chapter is introduced by a "minicase" or overview of the principle being discussed. Both novices and veteran managers will find this to be a valuable tool.
