( ) I prefered this book to other textbooks on library management because it actually considered many aspects of running and managing variuos academic environments-small liberal arts schools or large public universities are all discussed. However, I wish it had discussed more of the pragmatic issues of working in and running a university library, such as dealing with student workers and university politics. no reviews | add a review
"In this newly revised and expanded third edition, The Changing Academic Library: Operations, Culture, Environments, number 74 in ACRL's Publications in Librarianship series, presents a critical examination of major issues facing colleges and universities and the unique challenges their libraries face. In twelve chapters--including a completely new second chapter on the state of higher education--the book presents an overview of higher education and the role of libraries within the institution, covering academic models from private colleges to public universities; discusses governance models, financing, and organizational culture, and the library's place within them; examines changes in scholarly communication; looks at the impact of the library on its community; and explores issues affecting library collections, access, services, and staffing"-- No library descriptions found. |
