Covering everything from auditing and budgeting to contracts,
revenue and expenditures, forecasting, and ethics in financial
management, this book addresses the full spectrum of topics and
skills needed by today's library managers. Many library managers
learn financial management on the job, within the framework of a
specific organization. The "sink or swim" method of skill
acquisition can be effective, but it is inefficient, stressful, and
typically leaves one lacking in foundational concepts and
principles. This book provides a logical, organized way for library
school students, librarians, and others such as library board
members to gain the specific knowledge critical to the financial
management of libraries and information centers. This book covers
the full spectrum of topics and skills needed by today's
managers-from the basics of budgeting, accounting, and financial
statements to audits, forecasting, risk management, and revenue
sources. There are even chapters on ethical considerations and
advocacy. The skills readers will learn from this guide are of
critical importance in this era of financial constraints and
accountability at every level of the organization. Students in
management and financial management courses and practicing library
managers seeking to improve their financial management skills will
find this book an essential tool for success. Addresses a topic of
growing concern to library managers that is applicable to all types
of libraries Offers readers a formal, comprehensive introduction to
financial management-not just an aspect such as cost benefit
analysis, budgeting, or fundraising Includes forms and worksheets
that help readers better understand the concepts Supplies clear and
detailed explanations of financial concepts and practical
applications
