Library managers and supervisors face staffing decisions every day. When priorities change quickly--whether relating to diversity, legal challenges, new technology, or simply a desire to build an exciting team and bring people together to do their best--it takes more than good intentions to achieve results. Two experienced library managers explain how to create a productive work place, as they weave practical advice and expert commentary into an easy-to-use resource. Drawing both from common sense and from the experience and insights of the pros, they address an increasingly turbulent library environment. (jacket)
