註釋THIS TEACHES ACADEMIC LIBRARY MANAGERS TO HANDLE CRUCIAL DECISIONS, DIFFICULT ISSUES, SENSITIVE INTERACTIONS. Weber uses a variety of management tasks, issues, and leadership experiences to teach administrative lessons. Detailed workplace actions in two university library systems give practical help today for those with managerial responsibilities. Here are ethical, legal, honesty, and judgment errors. Other more subtle and far-reaching critical challenges are hiring misjudgments, tactlessness, loyalty lost, instances of wrong language, initiative taken by error, context misread, self-analysis, as well as delegation, social spirit, performance recognition, relationship sensitivity, teamwork, each being judged within its own administrative circumstances. The administrative and interpersonal issues addressed are found in any sizable library, whether commercial, non-profit, institutional, or governmental.The book concludes with a broad view of the modern research library scene with chapters on the forces of constant change, the values of humanistic personal qualities, and the necessity of lifelong learning.One University Librarian critiquing this book states:- "What you write is the summation of your personal, professional experiences over a long and distinguished career. You have written a unique work that is unlike any I've ever seen in library administration. In it you generously share with fellow administrators and aspiring colleagues the complete span of your experience. You've written a friendly, intimate dialogue; you share your defeats as well as your victories. You provide many specifics. It is as if you were chatting, one on one with an aspiring colleague or reminiscing with an old friend."
