Produktbeschreibung

This book addresses the challenges of organizing modern-day institutions, focusing on the management of intangible organizational resources of libraries through both library science and management theory. Highlighting new information requirements, knowledge transfer technologies and changing patterns of social behaviour, Intangible Organizational Resources explores how these changes are affecting the organization of information services such as libraries, and discusses what they mean for the effectiveness and quality of their services. Making a unique contribution in an otherwise under-explored field, this is an essential text for those involved in the organization of information services.
