Library management is not a new concept. Evolved with the inception of library, its original concept that lacked systematic procedure and scientific application has undergone a remarkable change. In this circumstance, we need such a book as it may meet the new requirements of the students and the professionals of Library Science. After having gone through several books on Library Science and made a deep study, it cropped me up high that I must write a book on library management to fulfill the above requirements. Also, some college students of Library Science have been asking me to write on the subject for a long. Though, lots of books are available on the subject, yet there is not such a single book as it may contain all issues relating to the library management. In this situation, it becomes very difficult for the students to read so many books on one subject. Hence, I decided to write such a book as it may contain all important issues in brief to facilitate the students and other readers. A Practical Guide to Library Management is intended to serve the important need of the present day learners and professionals of library management. An attempt has been made in this book to give in brief the learning on almost all issues of good library management. In a nutshell, the book has been made broad-based in order to serve the needs of a wider section of students. It is not only hoped but is my firm belief that it would be helpful to improve the achievement level of students of Library and Information Science.I am grateful to Prof. Mahendra Pratap Singh, Head of the Department, Library and Information Science, BRA Central University, Lucknow for his valuable suggestions and academic support on the writing of this book. I am indebted to Prof. Hirak Kanti Chakravarti, Head of the Department, Library and Information Science, S N S University, Varanasi for his encouragement, motivation and assistance with high level learning material on the subject. I am highly grateful to Shri Deepak Kumar, an Income Tax Officer, a research scholar and litterateur for going through the entire manuscript and doing overall editing work of the book.I have taken utmost care while publishing this book. However, to err is human. Inadvertent errors, if any, may please be brought to my notice. Comments and suggestions are most welcome. -Ram Nivas Kumar, the AuthorCONTENTS1. Meaning of Library2.

Most professional librarians, even recent graduates, manage something, whether it be a project, service, department, or a whole library. This book explains the different managerial roles at libraries, looking at the levels of managers, what they do, and how they do it. The goal is to explore the unique challenges faced by different types of library managers, in order to prepare early and mid-career librarians to step into new roles, and to think about how they might progress toward upper-management in a library. The approach is practice-driven, with a particular focus on the soft skills that are needed to be successful as a manager. Library Management: A Practical Guide for Librarians features three parts: project management, middle management, and upper management. These sections cover the different kinds of challenges that face people at each level of their career, exploring how these challenges can help prepare librarians for promotion to the next level. The purpose of these sections is to show how management skills develop over the course of one’s career, and to explore how leaders changes from context to context. Though each section focuses on a particular level of authority, the lessons can be useful for and applied to all of the levels discussed. For example, the same librarian might fill different roles in different contexts. A dean might serve as a library’s executive, but also manage a university-wide project or a middle manager might step into the role of dean temporarily, or might wonder what the next level of management would require.

"Most librarians and staff participate in at least one data migration during their careers. And since the new systems inevitably work differently than the old ones and require different data to function, it's always a challenge to plan smooth migrations that position libraries to immediately leverage new system capabilities. Using step-by-step instructions and checklists, this book offers expert advice to help library staff without programming knowledge address common conceptual and technical issues encountered in migrations. An important planning and implementation tool that will help prevent headaches and frustration, this book offers: a holistic view of migrating different types of library data in ILSes, institutional repositories, DAMs, and other types of systems used to manage data and operations; shows how to analyze, clean, and manipulate data using skills and tools available to most libraries; demonstrates how to work with specific data types typically encountered such as MARC, XML, and delimited text; examines issues that affect specific areas such as acquisitions, circulation, licensing, and institutional repositories; addresses how to handle changes in authentication management or when moving into a wholly new environment such as a shared catalog; thoroughly covers testing, the final migration process, and putting the new system into full production; offers guidance on planning for system freeze, staff training, and how to deal with fallout; provides step-by-step instructions as well as useful checklists for 'go live' readiness, post-migration functionality."--Résumé de l'éditeur.

While librarians and information professional are experts at providing resources to users, managing their own internal working knowledge and information can be a challenge.
