As advertised, the book offers a source of strategies and practical
solutions to vexing and recurrent problems which readers can tailor
to their individual needs. By and large, the authors eschew the
theoretical and anecdotal extremes in favor of applied, first-hand
experience with good effect. The book is carefully edited, well
indexed, has a serviceable binding, and clear sharp type. It is
highly recommended as an important resource that belongs in the
professional collection of every small academic library. Journal of
Academic Librarianship The Smaller Academic Library, which is a
collection of thirty essays by diverse hands on the management of
libraries in colleges of up to about 7,500 students, should help
practitioners build that kind of leadership and sense of mission.
It contains, in general, an excellent body of information on the
administration, personnel, budgets and finance, collections, user
programs and services, and physical plant that touches on virtually
every aspect of the administration, management, and operation of
smaller academic libraries in a lively and useful fashion. Wilson
Library Bulletin This handbook is intended for librarians involved
with smaller academic libraries, that is, those which serve
institutions with enrollments from 200 to 7,500 students.
Consisting of contributions from librarians actually working in
these libraries, it is intended to provide solutions to recurrent
problems. The contributors offer their own strategies for use both
as models and as starting points from which readers may generate
their own solutions. They possess a wide range of experience and
discuss a broad spectrum of pertinent topics. This is apt
considering the diverse character of smaller academic setting, may
also evidence a common set of problems. Each chapter includes
either references or a bibliography, and a bibliographic essay
completes the volume.
