ABSTRACT
The concept of management conjures up many activities relating to the operation of a business or a service. These include planning and budgeting, organizing and directing, staffing, supervising, and evaluating. All of these are action words, which imply doing something related to an overall objective. For the purpose of this monograph, it is the matter of running a library effectively and efficiently. Since a library is a complex business/service made up of many activities, it is necessary to understand something about the various parts and how they interact with each other.
