Ballard, Thomas H.

American Libraries, v14 n11 p734-36 Dec 1983

This essay aimed at large and medium-sized public libraries discusses library administration as a low-level function meant to support, rather than rule, the nonadministrative staff; management and administration as separate functions; the delegation of responsibility; and tasks of the administrator.
