Book Overview
This essential, single-volume textbook supplies a comprehensive introduction to library management that addresses all the functions of management, specifically within the ever-evolving modern library environment.
Strategic planning. Facilities management. Leadership, ethics, communication, and motivation. Human resources and staffing. Change, library development, and innovation. Marketing. Measurement and evaluation. Fiscal responsibility and control. These are just some of the wide range of responsibilities and necessary skills of contemporary library managers--not all of which are typically covered in detail in LIS educational programs. Now updated and expanded for its ninth edition, Libraries Unlimited's Library and Information Center Management is the core management text for library information science programs. This latest text adds new information on grant writing as well as more about budgets, marketing, financial management, assessment, and evidence-based management. The authors include various real-world examples from international settings to help readers understand and conceptualize the place of the library and information center in our global world. Each chapter ends with two helpful sections that present numerous examples and opportunities to apply newly gained information: "Practice Your Skills" and "Discussion Questions."Format:Paperback

Pleasantly surprised by how much I learned
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
After reading the other reviews of this book, my expectations were pretty low. I've been pleasantly surprised; it's actually a good management book. Granted, I may be biased since I have an MBA and teach business management courses. The book is very comprehensive and covers all the key management concepts. I thought the authors did a good and thorough job of presenting the material. I was able to glean new insights on a familiar subject. I purchased this book because it was required for my MLS course but I will definitely hold on to it.
