Between the Acts: The Interim or Acting Director of a Research Library.

Kobulnicky, Paul J.

Journal of Library Administration, v24 n3 p3-29 1997

Considers the challenge of leading a research library that is between directors. Discusses issues involved in the transitional period of "acting" directorship. Outlines recommendations for acting directors: seek advice; negotiate well in the beginning; consider the staff; state an objective; build consensus; and consider cautiously the candidacy for the directorship.
