Nature and Scope of the Course
This course is to provide a practical overview of the major issues faced by managers in libraries and information centers. While theory will be studied and addressed, emphasis will be on practical approaches to management problems. Class sessions will be heavily discussion oriented, and it is expected that students will share their experiences and thoughts.
