This volume addresses an eclectic mix of topics that adapt
theoretical concepts relating to the management of libraries to
stretch the boundary of practice. The nine contributions include a
definition of knowledge management and an outline of a curriculum
designed to train knowledge managers developed in Australia, a case
study of the application of change management at SMU, and a
discussion of how ebooks fit into collection management policies.
It also includes two pieces on research on the Internet, one that
focuses on student use of this tool and the other on the ethical
implications of Internet research. Other contributions include a
study of how effective managers work and a discussion of quality
assessment in libraries and in American higher education. The
volume concludes with discussions of consortia that are developing
in Ohio and in Taiwan. While each of these articles are quite
different in focus, each deals with an issue that we who are
charged with leading libraries must address, and each contributes
to the discussions that are likely to clarify our visions of where
libraries are going and how we might adapt them to meet the future
needs of our clientele. As a result, this volume should take its
place beside others in the series as a significant contribution to
the literature of management within librarianship.
