A management review and analysis was conducted by the staff of the libraries and audio-visual center of Purdue University. Not only were the study team and the eight task forces drawn from all levels of the libraries and audio-visual center staff, but a systematic effort was sustained through inquiries, draft reports and open meetings to involve all staff in the process of identifying problems, analyzing situations, and developing and discussing various recommendations. The study team of seven, appointed by the Director, reviewed the present and projected environment at Purdue and attempted to define the mission within it of the libraries and audio-visual center, as well as to review the scope for the use of performance goals. Task forces were appointed to study specific management functions: planning, budgeting, management information, policy, organization, staff development, personnel, and leadership and supervision. This document contains the study team's overview and the reports and recommendations of the eight task forces. (Author/SL)
