Recenzii

I would recommend this book for purchase by current, working library managers and those interested in library management in the academic library setting. Current library managers, like myself, fall into comfortable niches eventually (in my case after 17 years) and find ourselves with knowledge gaps. Wilkinson and Lubas, along with their contributors, have put together a work that bridges those knowledge gaps. Those interested in library management or newly thrust into a library management role will benefit from the sound, practical advice provided in this book.
