In this book, first published in 1989, educators, library administrators, and human resources managers will find helpful insights into the vital role they can play in attracting pro-active people to the profession, changing current library structures and staffing patterns to meet emerging information needs, and developing existing staff to cope with conflicting demands. Contributors to this valuable new book also explore the human resources implications of the changing mission of libraries; the challenges faced by public services; the need to reallocate, reclassify, and retain existing staff; and the increasingly important role that human resources specialists play in libraries in transition.
