"A required reading for my MLIS program, the repetition in this book is staggering. I realize that even common sense needs to be put on paper, but it hurt to read some of this. I gave it a two instead of a one because it *does* recognize that authoritarian management styles are being supplanted by team management. The "What do you think?" segments are partly engaging and there is a great deal to read about the history of management thought and strategic planning, but most of the time I write curses in the margins and "Ha!" A necessary but utterly unsatisfying read."
"Very theoretical and academic. It is hard understanding some of their concepts. However, if the reader blocks out the fact that the text looks at library management, one can see that it draws heavily on Peter Drucker and Henry Mintzberg."
"I really did read this book cover to cover. Well, I ran my eyes over the pages, anyway. What I discovered is that there will be one sentence in each paragraph that is informative. The rest of the sentences repeat that sentence in various formats, over and over, or offer vague examples. I bet if I had a background in management this book wouldn't have been so sleep-inducing... it's like a brief whirlwind through management concepts and theories. Too much information, so it just touches on everything. For someone like me, it made my management course more difficult (no class lectures, just book reading) but worked wonderfully in curing insomnia."
