Management Preparation and Training of Department Heads in ARL Libraries.

Wittenbach, Stefanie A.; And Others

College and Research Libraries, v53 n4 p319-30 Jul 1992

A survey of cataloging and reference department heads in ARL (Association for Research Libraries) member libraries showed that both professional experience and management coursework play a part in a librarian's promotion to department head. It is suggested that library management will improve if libraries require formal management preparation and continuing education of department heads. (16 references) (LAE)
