Great comprehensive text

This text was assigned for a management class. It was a very easy read, and is packed with a lot of information. However, there are a lot of little errors that do not take away from the content but do reduce the quality of the presentation of the product.

fantastic book for beginners

The book takes complex issues and presents them in a very straightforward manner.Very easy to follow and "puts it all together" for the reader.I am using this book as a supplement to a class I am taking and it is a "life saver".

Authoritative, informative, highly recommended introduction.

This introduction to library management provides important overviews and ideas on how to manage a library, from its people and budget to its housing and technology. Information managers receive important guidelines specific to the library environment, from making decisions and delegating work to motivating co-workers.
