Though, lots of books are available on the subject, yet there is not such a single book as it may contain all issues relating to the library management. In this situation, it becomes very difficult for the students to read so many books on one subject. Hence, I decided to write such a book as it may contain all important issues in brief to facilitate the students and other readers.
This book is intended to serve the important need of the present day learners and professionals of library management. An attempt has been made in this book to give the learning on almost all issues of good library management. In a nutshell, the book has been made broad-based in order to serve the needs of a wider section of students. It would be helpful to improve the achievement level of students of Library and Information Science.
