- A number of distinguished academic librarians discuss here
the urgent problems of maintaining and developing library services
in the context of serious economic retrenchment. This book examines
in detail the various data and statistics available on academic
libraries, the role of in-house research, new technology, library
co-operation, and the overall response of the library manager
to the new requirements for policy formulation, planning, decision
making, staffing, and service provision. It is invaluable reading
for all concerned with the pressing problems of academic libraries
in times of economic constraint.

- 'the wider 'political' aspects of running a library may
not be so well understood by those who have not been forced by
their position to implement painful decisions and reading these
papers may well be salutory and illuminating.'
- Journal of Documentation
-
- 'an excellent book.... succeeds in including most topics
currently exercising academic library managers. Brought out particularly
clearly is the need for political awareness by librarians, whether
discussing government policy or fighting for resources locally.
Read this book, and keep your powder dry.'
