Designed for use in a course dealing with academic libraries or with library management, the twenty cases in this book describe problems that every college librarian will encounter in one form or another. Each has policy, political, practical, and procedural implications. Questions are offered at the conclusion of the cases to promote discussion, and suggested readings are supplied to help students investigate the cases in light of precedent and against the background of information provided in professional literature. Cases include "Mapplethorpe at McMillan"; "The Obsolescent Employee"; "At the Judge's Behest"; "Alumni Blues"; "The Single Mom"; and others.

Download or read book Administration of the Public Library written by Alice Gertzog and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now available in paperback! The Administrative of the Public Library is a comprehensive approach to contemporary public library concerns. It combines theory and practical advice as it addresses in a simple, logical, clear, and jargon-free fashion public library policies, procedures, resources, and human relations. Based on the premise that library administration entails not only familiarity with management principles, but intimate knowledge of the products and processes for which it is responsible, the book covers input functions-collection development, technology, technical services; public services-outreach information, circulation, youth, readers; as well as important traditional management topics-staff, directors, finance, buildings, and public relations. All of these are developed within a system, political, historical, and social context. The text uses as its model Guy R. Lyle's Administration of the College Library and is designed for students and practicing librarians alike.

Download or read book Guide to Library and Information Agency Management written by Charles Curran and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2005 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide identifies major concerns and involves interested parties in thoughtful consideration and discussion of challenges and opportunities embedded in managerial and administrative practice. By talking about the management of information places and with managers and mangers-to-be, authors Curran and Miller provide a more thorough and realistic outlook on the managerial experience. The authors assert that: - Information agencies of all stripes share a common purpose - The act of deciding is the primary administrative/managerial responsibility - Knowledge Management must replace mere acquisition, storage and dissemination - The budget process is every bit as important as the budget document - Interpersonal issues dominate - Meetings soak up time Tackling many issues that other management books won't touch (e.g. sex in the office place, cliques, emphasis on political behavior, specific mistakes that cripple managers, and managing contradictions and paradoxes), this book is an excellent resource for all administrators.

Download or read book The Academic Library in the United States written by Mark L. McCallon and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2022-10-17 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book advances the belief that the library--more than any other cultural institution--collects, curates and distributes the results of human thought. Essays broaden the debate about academic libraries beyond only professional circles, promoting the library as a vital resource for the whole of higher education. Topics range from library histories to explorations of changing media. Essayists connect modern libraries to the remarkable dream of Alexandria's ancient library--facilitating groundbreaking research in every imaginable field of human interest, past, present and future. Academic librarians who are most familiar with historical traditions are best qualified to promote the library as an important aspect of teaching and learning, as well as to develop resources that will enlighten future generations of readers. The intellectual tools for compelling, constructive conversation come from the narrative of the library in its many iterations, from the largest research university to the smallest liberal arts or community college.
