About this title

Reviews

An outgrowth of a course in academic library management organized by the British Council, this collection represents some 30 papers by 20 of the most experienced national, university, and polytechnic librarians in Great Britain. Despite the book's British focus, its editor is well-known to American academic librarians and the material is relevant to professionals of any nationality. This work presents an overview of the major issues facing academic libraries, including: resource and collection management, finance functions, staffing, evaluation, automation, and marketing. The content and writing are uniformly excellent, which is unusual for any collected work. This is one of the best books on the topic in the last ten years and is highly recommended for academic librarians.
