A Practical Guide to Library Management
Library management is not a new concept. Evolved with the inception of library, its original concept that lacked systematic procedure and scientific application has undergone a remarkable change. In this circumstance, we need such a book as it may meet the new requirements of the students and the professionals of Library Science. After having gone through several books on Library Science and made a deep study, it cropped me up high that I must write a book on library management to fulfill the above requirements. Also, some college students of Library Science have been asking me to write on the subject for a long. Though, lots of books are available on the subject, yet there is not such a single book as it may contain all issues relating to the library management. In this situation, it becomes very difficult for the students to read so many books on one subject. Hence, I decided to write such a book as it may contain all important issues in brief to facilitate the students and other readers. A Practical Guide to Library Management is intended to serve the important need of the present day learners and professionals of library management. An attempt has been made in this book to give in brief the learning on almost all issues of good library management. In a nutshell, the book has been made broad-based in order to serve the needs of a wider section of students. It is not only hoped but is my firm belief that it would be helpful to improve the achievement level of students of Library and Information Science.I am grateful to Prof. Mahendra Pratap Singh, Head of the Department, Library and Information Science, BRA Central University, Lucknow for his valuable suggestions and academic support on the writing of this book. I am indebted to Prof. Hirak Kanti Chakravarti, Head of the Department, Library and Information Science, S N S University, Varanasi for his encouragement, motivation and assistance with high level learning material on the subject. I am highly grateful to Shri Deepak Kumar, an Income Tax Officer, a research scholar and litterateur for going through the entire manuscript and doing overall editing work of the book.I have taken utmost care while publishing this book. However, to err is human. Inadvertent errors, if any, may please be brought to my notice. Comments and suggestions are most welcome. -Ram Nivas Kumar, the AuthorCONTENTS1. Meaning of Library2.
