Eighteen workforms are presented for the readers to choose what specific data will be gathered. Following considerations of the staffing issues are useful guidelines for the manager's choice. The goal is clear - to ensure that staff is being used in the most effective and efficient way. Evaluation of various library media collections, usage of collections, identification of collection required to meet library's goals, and finally preparation of the budget reflecting new priorities are the milestones concerned. Seventeen workforms coupled with clear instructions can be employed to gather data on library collections for managerial decision.
Facilities are the third resource to be examined if the plans ever meant to become true.
The facilities can be studied using seven workforms that if properly filled can answer what is important for certain library, evaluate capacity, utilisation and technology impact. The latter technological aspect of facilities is the common reason of library managers' headache. Adjustment of old facilities for new library technologies is not an easy puzzle. And finally, the fifth chapter discusses technology as library resource. Differently than earlier presented, technology workforms are required to be completed one after another.
