Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a plan for improving Civil Service arrangements within the library staff of a large university. The author -- a university library director -- explores the challenges of managing a professional library staff under Civil Service regulations, which were not designed to accommodate the unique needs of such a specialized group. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the educational qualifications, professional character, and academic nature of library work. Drawing on examples from other major research universities, the author argues that professional library staff should be recognized as part of the academic rather than the non-academic staff, and should be exempt from Civil Service restrictions. The author also discusses the instructional and research functions of library staff, and the importance of providing them with the freedom and flexibility to select and appoint the most qualified candidates. Through a series of proposed principles for staff management, this book offers a well-reasoned and persuasive case for exempting professional library staff from Civil Service regulations, in order to create a more effective and responsive library system that can better support the educational mission of the university. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
