The points raised about library management are all true, of course. There are a couple of other issues that might be highlighted. These include:

• the management of personnel within the library [among other things such issues as professional, para-professional and non-professional staff and their roles; changing nature of library work and workplaces; changing structures in libraries]
• the management of budgets
• the integration of libraries in their wider organisations [read: politics?]
• the changing nature of information and its communication, and the significance of that for libraries and similar organisations.

This article throws together issues of library management, the long-range planning handled by the head of the library or its board of directors, and library technical services, which deals with the day-to-day decisions of cataloging, acquisitions, etc. which are handled by library assistants and their supervisors. I'll create separate articles when I have time. GUllman 20:32, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I added a section that describes the most common library constructs and the dewey decimal system. My Best, --FGuerino (talk) 20:11, 23 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
