Description

Management of a library encompasses tasks including arranging, directing, leading, and controlling. Making judgements regarding the library's objectives methodically is what planning is all about. Assembling and coordinating the human, financial, physical, informational, and other resources required to realise library objectives is known as organising. While regulating entails keeping an eye on various library services and operations, leading involves the librarian's efforts to encourage good performance from staff members. These four management responsibilities are closely related, but libraries that excel at managing their human resources and organising their material resources are known to perform better. Since the middle of the 1950s, computer-based systems known as library management systems (LMS) have evolved to automate some or all of the functional areas of a typical library. The current modest work is carefully crafted and aims to give a complete understanding of this job. It is hoped that it would be warmly received by academics, students, researchers, and general readers alike.
