Summary

Long regarded as the premier monographic series in its area of coverage, Advances in Library Administration and Organization offers research perspectives that are both timely and lively. Through its long-standing tradition of bringing to its professional and academic readership a mix of scholarship and longish essays, volumes continue to be characterized by a focused eclecticism whose contributions, informed by theory and reflection, stretch the boundaries of practice. Volume 20 includes important contributions to the field dealing with the evolving role of the chief information officer, information ethics, library services at a distance, e-metrics, and continuous quality improvement. Authors represent national backgrounds from UK, Germany, and the United States. Book jacket.
