Cases are organized in six sections that parallel basic library management functions: Planning Organizing Leading Controlling Staffing Communicating Each section features case studies , each with the case description and three responses from library leaders from a wide variety of library types and sizes.

Download or read book Practical and Effective Management of Libraries written by Richard Moniz Jr. and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2010-01-20 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aimed at library science students and librarians with newly assigned administrative duties the book is about improving one's thinking and decision making in a role as a library manager. Most librarians get very little exposure to management issues prior to finding themselves in a management role. Furthermore, most library science students do not expect that they will need to understand management yet they quickly find that there is a need to understand this perspective to be effective at almost any library job. Effective library management is about having some tools to make decisions (such as a basic understanding of management theory and how it applies in the library environment, understanding common traps we all fall into, etc.), knowing yourself, being able to motivate others, fostering a diversity (especially within workgroups), being able to communicate effectively, and having an understanding of one's organizational culture. The book touches on all of these aspects of library management. - Provides a concise understanding of theories from management, psychology, etc. and applies them to practical every day library issues - Contains real world cases for considering how theoretical concepts might apply in real library-related situations - Cuts out much of the extraneous material often found in books of this kind and focuses more on what you actually need

Download or read book Practical Lessons in Library Management written by David Weber and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-29 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS TEACHES ACADEMIC LIBRARY MANAGERS TO HANDLE CRUCIAL DECISIONS, DIFFICULT ISSUES, SENSITIVE INTERACTIONS. Weber uses a variety of management tasks, issues, and leadership experiences to teach administrative lessons. Detailed workplace actions in two university library systems give practical help today for those with managerial responsibilities. Here are ethical, legal, honesty, and judgment errors. Other more subtle and far-reaching critical challenges are hiring misjudgments, tactlessness, loyalty lost, instances of wrong language, initiative taken by error, context misread, self-analysis, as well as delegation, social spirit, performance recognition, relationship sensitivity, teamwork, each being judged within its own administrative circumstances. The administrative and interpersonal issues addressed are found in any sizable library, whether commercial, non-profit, institutional, or governmental. The book concludes with a broad view of the modern research library scene with chapters on the forces of constant change, the values of humanistic personal qualities, and the necessity of lifelong learning. One University Librarian critiquing this book states: - "What you write is the summation of your personal, professional experiences over a long and distinguished career. You have written a unique work that is unlike any I've ever seen in library administration. In it you generously share with fellow administrators and aspiring colleagues the complete span of your experience. You've written a friendly, intimate dialogue; you share your defeats as well as your victories. You provide many specifics. It is as if you were chatting, one on one with an aspiring colleague or reminiscing with an old friend."
