Academic Library Committees: Their Role in Participative Management.

Sheble, Mary Ann; Hill, Debra W.

College & Research Libraries, v55 n6 p511-26 Nov 1994

A survey on the role of academic library committees showed that not all libraries use committees in significant roles; committees do not guarantee librarians a significant voice; librarians were positive about policy-related committees and negative about fact-finding and information-gathering committees; and smaller libraries used committees more often than did larger ones.
