From a clearly scientific POV, this books deserves more than 3 stars - maybe 3.5 or 4. But I'm giving it 3 because I had to do an assignment on it for school, and that sucked out most the interest it potentially carries.
I chose Library Communication for this book analysis/review essay I had to do for school, solely because I'm fascinated by communication theories and forensics at large. The book itself is quite satisfying - it explains how communication is pivotal to library leadership first and foremost, but it gives so many different dimensions to the topic. I learned a lot of new things from it: the K.I.S.S. theory - Keep It Simple, Stupid, that you need to keep your composure when patrons ask you MARC who?, and that being a library manager is really no easy task.
The book is however anachronistic because it was published in 1991 and talks about how "we should start using the Internet in our libraries and install a computer network" when to us that's every day life. Aside from that, a really intriguing, informative, innovative, deeply-studied, well-presented, logically-structured book. Need I say more?
PS. My professor better give me at LEAST 90% in my essay or else...!
