Created to fill a surprising educational void, this edited volume focuses on best practices from library management experts teaching in LIS programs across the country. Among the many topics discussed are:

  • Classic and contemporary theories of management, and how they apply to the library

  • Human resource planning

  • Negotiations, mediation, and financial management of the library

  • Facilities management

  • Information technology management and future trends

  • Change management and organizational culture

  • Ethics and confidentiality
