About the Book
Library Management: A Manual for Effective Management is a practical guide designed for practicing librarians, library managers, and students pursuing Library and Information Science courses. The book addresses the day-to-day managerial challenges encountered in libraries and presents both traditional management principles and modern management techniques relevant to contemporary library environments.
Structured into twelve comprehensive chapters, the book introduces the fundamentals of management and traces the development of management thought before examining the essential principles and elements of effective management. Recognizing the growing influence of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), it discusses modern approaches to library administration and the skills required by library professionals to function effectively in a changing information landscape.
The book covers key aspects of library management including Human Resource Development, Management by Objectives (MBO), Total Quality Management (TQM), Personnel Management, Financial Management, Space Management, and Collection Management. It provides practical guidance on staffing patterns, job analysis, organizational structures, budgeting techniques, financial planning, building and furniture layout, collection development, document processing, and effective utilization of library resources.
Additional chapters focus on maintenance, preservation, binding, stock verification procedures, library authorities, committees, rules and regulations, and the role of computers in library management. An extensive bibliography is included to support further study and professional development.
Combining theory with practical applications, this book serves as an essential reference for librarians, information professionals, LIS students, and administrators seeking effective strategies for managing modern libraries.
