MANAGING EFFECTIVELY: SOME TIPS FOR SPECIAL LIBRARIANS

Abstract

There are many obvious dangers in attempting to pontificate in public on management. Not the least is that one is expected to practise what one preaches, especially if what one offers can be said to be, after all, only applied common sense! However, the fact remains that there is an urgent need for librarians to think about their problems—and how to solve them—systematically. Many of us are not in a position to arrange all our work for ourselves but we can always improve any situation to some extent. We may see some ways later in this paper. Actual results are hard to achieve, but it is certain that there is only one way to get them, and that is by effective management.
