 Models for Library Management, Decision-Making and Planning (w/ CD-ROM)
by Robert M. Hayes
Book Description
Librarians are faced with many challenges, including a decline in usage, tight budgets, staff cuts, limited
space for growing collections, the Internet, and the demand for online books and reference materials, as well as how to remain relevant to their patrons in an electronic world. Library management today requires
knowledge of staffing, workloads, inventory, overhead, storage, and materials processing, in order to fulfill the
demands imposed by reader services, technical processing, and even library-based publishing. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of these variables in conjunction are vital to the survival of modern libraries.
