Rezensionen

Broad in scope and written in an easy-to-read style, this guide can most appropriately be used as an introduction to management for library and information science students...useful for those in larger organizations who need to conduct in-house management training sessions. Info Career Trends Acknowledging the rapid changes in technologies and expectations for libraries and other information management agencies, and the special and diverse laws, rules, and standards of practice involved, Curran (library and information science, U. of South Carolina) and Miller (library and information science, Indiana U.) also cover many of the issues that others avoid, such as sex in the workplace, office cliques, political behavior, crippling mistakes and management contradictions. They describe the unique nature of the information place, the importance of decision-making, the process of budgeting (which is just as important as the budget document) and the external environment (such as privacy and laws regarding the expression of opinion.)
