Administration of the Small Public Library

Rating:
Summary: A very highly recommended in-service training text
Review: Now in a fully updated and revised fourth edition, Darlene Weingand's Administration Of The Small Public Library is an indispensable reference for the operation of small community libraries for villages, towns, and municipalities seeking to offer their patrons and communities a visible, well-funded library system that embraces emerging information technologies, enhances accountability through effective management techniques, and encourages community involvement while addressing local needs. This new edition will enable the library staff to adapt sample documents (including a long-range plan, job descriptions, organizational charts, budget worksheets, policies, and construction plans) to their facility. A necessary addition to any academic library science reference collection, Administration Of The Small Public Library is invaluable and very highly recommended in-service training text for library professionals in small to mid-sized community library systems.
