The latest volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization, contains approaches from researchers around the world.

New approaches to student staffing are examined, along with the relationship of library work to topics such as emotional intelligence and positive organizational behavior.

The work as a whole addresses sustainability issues in library staffing both regarding the day-to day work of libraries and in planning for the future.

Library Staffing for the Future provides the reader with a thorough look at relevant staffing issues for libraries today and going forward, and provides advice and information grounded in the theoretical as well as the practical.
