Most professional librarians, even recent graduates, manage
something, whether it be a project, service, department, or a whole
library. This book explains the different managerial roles at
libraries, looking at the levels of managers, what they do, and how
they do it. The goal is to explore the unique challenges faced by
different types of library managers, in order to prepare early and
mid-career librarians to step into new roles, and to think about
how they might progress toward upper-management in a library. The
approach is practice-driven, with a particular focus on the soft
skills that are needed to be successful as a manager. Library
Management: A Practical Guide for Librarians features three parts:
project management, middle management, and upper management. These
sections cover the different kinds of challenges that face people
at each level of their career, exploring how these challenges can
help prepare librarians for promotion to the next level. The
purpose of these sections is to show how management skills develop
over the course of one's career, and to explore how leaders changes
from context to context. Though each section focuses on a
particular level of authority, the lessons can be useful for and
applied to all of the levels discussed. For example, the same
librarian might fill different roles in different contexts. A dean
might serve as a library's executive, but also manage a
university-wide project or a middle manager might step into the
role of dean temporarily, or might wonder what the next level of
management would require.
