Managing Fiction in Libraries

by Margaret Kinnell (Editor)

The book considers fiction management in the context of all the other management functions of libraries - including resource management; service development; staff management; the marketing of services. It assesses the constraints as well as the challenges of the present political climate in which librarians are expected to justify their services on financial as well as philosophical grounds. It is hoped that the book will stimulate debate as well as inform students and practitioners through a broad consideration of the issues. The book includes children's and adolescent fiction management. It is intended not only for UK but also US and international readerships and is designed to meet the needs of students, and professional staff at all levels undertaking in-service continuing education and training.
