Abstract

Briefly reviews 20 books concerned with all aspects of management including studying for a management qualification, as in S. Cameron′s The MBA Handbook, which offers practical advice on how to study for an MBA. Applies the relevance of such books to the concerns of the library manager and indicates how such publications could help the manager to provide a better library service, improve interpersonal skills and generally overcome most of the hurdles which managers have to surmount.
