Synopsis Libraries and their information have existed for thousands of years. People recognised the value of information, although sometimes in rather unusual ways. Today, as an organised system, the library is becoming an intermediary, rather than a storehouse, of information. The evolving nature of the library is characterised by a gradual change of its organisation. In this info age, information is not only recorded items of knowledge, it is also the digitised bits of information that could be moved through computers and telephone lines to wherever it is needed. The management of new age libraries poses numerous challenges to the librarians and information scientists. It is essential that they should have an integrated approach to concentrate on the client expectations, electronic and print information, new skill development and standard hardware. The present publication complies a well-structured compilation to cover the diverse aspects of library management. Librarians, students, academicians besides professionals in the field of library and information science will find this work most useful and valuable.
