Case Studies for Teaching Library Management

Teaching and practice, unfortunately, are two different streams in Indian librarianship and they meet quite rarely. With an exception of a few, most teachers of LIS have no option than borrowing case studies from others' experiences for presenting to their students, if at all they wish to do so. Well articulated true-to-life case studies are not easily and readily available. Here is a book which very effectively fills this gap and probably the first of its kind to provide a number of well thought out case studies of library management. The book has 39 case studies, a brief introduction to library management, 'case analysis' for the first two cases and 'suggested discussion leads' for the remaining cases.
