Sources: The Academic Library Administrator's Field Guide

Abstract

Library administration is a learned skill. Aspiring library leaders can certainly read about management theory in library school, but it's impossible for them to effectively navigate the terrain until they land that first job as an administrator and begin getting on-the-job training. That being said, some guides can help chart the way. The Academic Library Administrator's Field Guide, a new addition to the corpus, is an excellent resource for newbies and more experienced hands.
