Taking an international approach to reflect the growing number of one-person libraries (OPLs) worldwide, this handbook and directory for OPLs covers organizational culture, customer service, time management and planning, budgeting, accounting, technology, collection development, education, downsizing, outsourcing, and many other key management issues. The book shares useful tips, techniques, and case studies, discusses knowledge management strategies for OPLs, and offers practical advice geared to help OPLs survive and thrive in an increasingly digitized-and downsized-future.
