Library and Information Science Text Library and Information Center Management, (Paperback)

<p><b>This popular textbook is a one-stop toolkit for teaching management in library and information science programs.</b> </p><p>Understanding the nature of the modern workplace is essential to an information professional's career success. Staying true to Barbara B. Moran and Claudia J. Morner's classic work, new authors Ericka J. Patillo and Rebecca B. Vargha offer a timely shift in focus. </p><p>Incorporating suggestions from users of the previous edition of <i>Library and Information Center Management</i>, Patillo and Vargha organize the book by managerial functions, using an organizational behavior framework. This textbook teaches all members of a library organization how to understand themselves and what motivates them to work; how to get along with and work with others in the workplace; and how the organization, as a system, works, including its challenges and opportunities. Its six sections include an introduction to library and information center management, followed by sections on individuals in organizations, leading, organizational behavior, planning and evaluating, and managing libraries and information agencies. </p><p>A timely new chapter is dedicated to diversity, equity, and inclusion, supporting the infusion of DEI principles throughout the text, and more case studies are provided for real-world learning.</p>
