Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a climate of rapid change - growth in student numbers, new student-centred learning methods, the need to manage resources on a value-for-money basis, and the move towards the electronic library - human resource management has become a key area of concern to university and college managers. An effective academic library must have a staff development policy implemented by its manager, and its training function must be fully integrated with other departments in the organization. This book is the first to address these issues in an academic library context, and the fully revised and second edition updates readers on developments in this rapidly changing field. Readership: The insightful and perceptive approach of this assessment makes it particularly valuable to librarians with responsibility for managing change in higher and further education, as well as being a vital tool for all institutional managers and staff developers.
