A leader's handbook is presented for a course designed for the continuing education of professional librarians at the level of middle or upper management who find that they need understanding about human resources in the library system beyond that acquired on the job or in previous library education. The course has four units: (1) Management: A Systems Perspective and Approach; (2) The Worker--Human Being/Personality: A Systems Perspective and Approach; (3) Work, Management, and the Worker: An Integration of the System; and (4) Developing the Library's Human Resources: Managerial Strategies. In addition there is an optional unit on morale. The design for each section of the course incorporates audiovisual media, specially selected readings, a bibliography, a work assignment, and a wide variety of structured experiences concerning library work-related problems in human relations.
