Assignment 12:   Library Management.   Due Wed Apr 30.

1. Find a copy of Library and Information Center Management by Robert D. Stueart and Barbara B. Moran. 6th ed. This is the standard text on library management. Main Stack Z678.S799 2002 is on 1 day reserve at Graduate Services. If you can't find this edition, the previous, 5th edition, will do.
There are some supplementary materials at http://lu.com/management/index.html

2. Scan the entire text slowly so that you know what is in it, then select and read at least one of the chapters. Pick whichever chapter(s) you think will be most useful for you.

3. Report: Let me have a brief note (on paper or by e-mail) explaining which chapter(s) you read, with any comments on them. Time will be made in class for you to tell the rest of us what you found.

Hint: Since there is only one copy, do it well ahead of time to reduce the chances that someone else just came for it.
