Resource Management in Academic Libraries - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

The funding framework of higher education is changing. As the number of students going on to higher education increases, competitive bidding for funded places is replacing block-grant allocation. This means that institutions seeking to increase their income from non-government sources are having to revise traditional methods of assessing the over-head cost of support services or to introduce new methods. This book seeks to codify practice, assess current and future trends, evaluate alternative funding systems and create new models for resource allocation and management. It provides a critical analysis of present practice in higher education libraries, both in the UK and abroad, and develops a range of approaches to suit different types of activities and institutions. The title is intended for managers who need to know about resource management techniques in a competitive environment, whether working in small units or in large academic libraries.
