David C. Weber's, Practical Lessons in Library Management

Real problems and real solutions in university library management

The heart of this collection of unique case studies center on the personal history of David C. Weber, Emeritus Director of Stanford University Libraries and earlier a part of Keyes Metcalf’s administrative team at Harvard University. This is both a collecting of lessons for the professional administrator (in any field), and a study for students of management. Critical thinking on the job under challenging conditions, each produce original and thoughtful action, some positive and others not.
