This volume includes a series of papers designed to help
administrators meet the challenges of running organizations in an
ambiguous climate. All of the articles address real management
problems from a research perspective. The volume leads with a
bibliometric study designed to help us understand the development
of library science and higher education as disciplines and follows
with a piece on the importance of place for libraries, a study of
interactive services and professional culture within librarianship
and then pieces on staff development and mentoring. Then we look at
the work processes of research librarians and management education
for librarians. Finally, we look at service programs aimed at the
Hispanic population and provide a location analysis of public
libraries in Calcutta. As in past volume, this edition of ALAO
includes an eclectic collection of strong papers that convey the
results of the kind of research that managers need, mixing theory
with a good dose of pragmaticism. The resulting volume adds
significant value to our literature as the essays it contains
treats classic problems in new ways.
