A Practical Guide To Library Management

Library management is not a new concept. Evolved with the inception of the library, its original concept that lacked systematic procedure and scientific application have undergone a remarkable change. In this circumstance, we need such a book that it may meet the new requirements of the students and the professionals of Library Science. A Practical Guide to Library Management is intended to serve the important need of the present-day learners and professionals of library management.
An attempt has been made in this book to give in brief the learning on almost all issues of good library management. In a nutshell, the book has been made broad-based in order to serve the needs of a wider section of students. It is not only hoped but is my firm belief that it would be helpful to improve the achievement level of students of Library and Information Science. CONTENTSIndex 1. Meaning of Library 2.
