First published in 1993, this volume explains the diverse and numerous management skills required to run a special library. Whether the unit is within a private or public company, a charity, a research organization, governmental department or a professional association, the manager of that unit has to cope with problems and decisions that range from staffing, recruitment and training to budgeting, purchasing, PR and marketing.
