For this new fourth edition, expert instructor and librarian Peggy Johnson has revised and fully updated this textbook to provide a timely and valuable new resource for LIS students and professionals.

A range of practical case studies are included to illustrate and explore all of the issues discussed.

Content covered includes: - traditional management topics including organization of the collection, demonstrating value, staffing, and policymaking - cooperative collection development and management - licenses, negotiation, contracts, maintaining productive relationships with vendors and publishers, and other important purchasing and budgeting topics - changes in information delivery and access technologies and how they continue to reshape the discipline - the evolving needs and expectations of library users - new roles for subject specialists - marketing, liaison activities, and outreach.
