Title: The next library leadership
Description: "This much needed work addresses a topic of increasing importance and urgency: the shortage of individuals attracted to professional careers in librarianship, and the subsequent consequences for leadership positions, particularly library directorship. Through extensive interviews and a thorough review of the existing, literature, the authors - all highly respected for their exceptional leadership and contributions to library science - assess what constitutes effective leadership and identify the traits needed by the next generation of academic and public library directors. An important contribution to the field of library and information science, this study is essential reading for anyone in the profession."--Jacket.
