Review
The two principal authors have professional experience in a variety of roles and organisations, and this is very evident in the attention to detail they bring to the subject. Overall, this is a comprehensive introduction to the management of libraries and will more than likely be a prescribed text for library science students at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. (Australian Library Journal)
Evans, an administrator, researcher, teacher, and writer, and Alire outline the basics of management for librarians. They describe the operating environment; managerial skill sets, including planning, power, accountability, responsibility, delegating, decision making, communicating, changing and innovating, assessment, quality control, operations, and marketing and advocacy; motivating and leading people, addressing diversity, and staffing; managing money, technology, and physical facilities; and managing one's career. This edition has new chapters on legal issues, building teams, and ethics; updates technological topics like social media; and adds new sidebars relating the authors' and advisory board members' experiences. (Reference and Research Book News)
A very well thought through and well written text...I will include this book into the reading list of the next autumn courses on managing libraries and I would recommend it to other teachers working in this field. It also can be useful to those librarians who have changed their mind and finally decided to embark on a managerial career or simply look for some good materials that will help to augment their professional skills. (Information Research)
This is an excellent title. In some ways, it is a textbook, but I prefer to see it as an overview of the management needs within our profession and for those who work in it. The book can be quietly browsed, reminding us of the various aspects to our profession. Coming into its third edition it has been a very successful title. (Australian Academic and Research Libraries)
This large tome is a distillation of theories, research, and best practices gathered by the authors and some library leaders who helped annotate the twenty-one chapters, three of which are new since the 2007 second edition. Despite the title, the book is for anyone working - or studying to work - in libraries, from entry-level professionals through directors...a printed resource that will repay reading many times over. (Catholic Library World)
