This introduction to library management provides conceptual overviews and library/information examples. After background on concepts and history of the field, a section on knowledge and skills in management covers areas such as marketing, decision making, delegation, and the planning process. A section on managing resources looks at personnel, fiscal management, technology, and physical facilities. Evans is director of libraries at Loyola Marymount University.

The book takes complex issues and presents them in a very straightforward manner.

Very easy to follow and "puts it all together" for the reader.
I am using this book as a supplement to a class I am taking and it is a "life saver".

This introduction to library management provides important overviews and ideas on how to manage a library, from its people and budget to its housing and technology.
