Looking for tips on how to work towards your overall vision while remaining productive on the frontlines? The book gives you fresh ideas for balancing your managerial duties with day-to-day responsibilities in the academic library.

A compilation of ideas from noted leaders in academic librarianship, this book explores a wealth of topics, including budgeting, human resources, facilities, collections, and IT. There is also helpful advice that will help you navigate emerging areas of librarianship, such as blended librarianship, cross-institutional collaboration, and marketing the library. You will learn how to manage, lead, and address specific library areasall at once.

Practical Strategies for Academic Library Managers: Leading with Vision through All Levels is ideal for current professionals with an expanded scope of responsibilities and those who have had administrative duties for some time, but are looking for new techniques for being a better manager. The book includes an introduction written by the editors, who are both associate deans in university libraries. Each chapter is written by a different expert in the field, providing a rich array of approaches and perspectives.

Recenzijas

I would recommend this book for purchase by current, working library managers and those interested in library management in the academic library setting. Current library managers, like myself, fall into comfortable niches eventually (in my case after 17 years) and find ourselves with knowledge gaps. Wilkinson and Lubas, along with their contributors, have put together a work that bridges those knowledge gaps. Those interested in library management or newly thrust into a library management role will benefit from the sound, practical advice provided in this book. * Technical Services Quarterly *
