Editorial Reviews

Biblioteca Medica Canadiana
I would highly recommend this book to anyone working in a library. It is an excellent reference source for an overall view of library issues, and includes both the challenges and rewards of managing a library.
Library Management
Handbooks are by definition useful items for occasional consultation, and this volume fulfills that function well.
Medical Reference Services Quarterly
...this book is a useful addition to the literature, and the advice contained in its pages is sound. It should form part of the professional bookshelf of the busy library manager, as assimilation of the points contained within it will provide a sound foundation for the strategic and tactical management of a health sciences library.
The Library Quarterly
The volume brings together a number of unique and interesting perspectives on the topic of administration...full of practical advice for handling a variety of issues...will be particularly valuable for a new administrator
