Summary

Mistakes in Academic Library Management: Grievous Errors and How to Avoid Them addresses the most common library management issues, examining mistakes that anyone in a library management position could make, coupled with suggestions for how the issue could be better handled or avoided. The result is the recognition and formation of tools to aid developing managers in identifying potential pitfalls.

Jack E. Fritts Jr. addresses a range of management issues, including campus politics, communication, information technology, staff, and planning. There is also a chapter that addresses library management from the perspective of a chief academic officer. All those in library management positions, or who aspire to library management positions, will profit from the discussions of common but potentially severe mistakes in library management presented in this book.
