Libraries and their information have existed for thousands of years. People recognised the value of information, although sometimes in rather unusual ways. Today, as an organised system, the library is becoming an intermediary, rather than a storehouse of information. The evolving nature of the library is characterised by a gradual change of its organisation. In this info age, information is not only recorded items of knowledge, it is also the digitised bits of information that could be moved through computers and telephone lines to wherever it is needed. The management of new age librarians poses numerous challenges to the librarians and information scientists. It is essential that they should have an integrated approach to concentrate on the client expectations, electronics and print information, new skill development and standard hardware. This book is intended as a useful source of information and guidance management in libraries. The book is written from a management perspective with the principle that every employee should be respect as a worker and as a person. Performance of every person can be improved within a human resource development climate.
