But only In the last century or so have privacy and confidentiality as societal and legal concepts become widely acknowledged and well supported. Lewis R. Miller http://works.bepress.com/lewis_miller/6 http://works.bepress.com/lewis_miller/6 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:47:48 PDT Libraries have often been early adopters of new technologies. But, until the 1960s and the beginnings of the computer age, these technologies and bibliographic tools were limited in their ability to effect wide-scale resource sharing.

Lewis R.

By talking about the management of information places and with managers and mangers-to-be, authors Curran and Miller provide a more thorough and realistic outlook on the managerial experience. The authors assert that: · Information agencies of all stripes share a common purpose · The act of deciding is the primary administrative/managerial responsibility · Knowledge Management must replace mere acquisition, storage and dissemination · The budget process is every bit as important as the budget document · Interpersonal issues dominate · Meetings soak up time Tackling many issues that other management books won't touch (e.g. sex in the office place, cliques, emphasis on political behavior, specific mistakes that cripple managers, and managing contradictions and paradoxes), this book is an excellent resource for all administrators.
