These papers deal with some universal themes and topics in Library & Information Science research and practice and demonstrate the unique Library & Information Science contribution Finnish scholars/practitioners bring to these problems and issues.

This edition of "Advances in Library Administration and Organization" offers timely, interesting articles on topics of interest to library managers. It is an eclectic mix of pieces that includes an article on managing change in research libraries and one on the agility of library consortia and the impact of consortia on the agility of its member libraries. Another article considers the role of consortia as a public good - its capacity to be an anti-competitive force that has the potential to change the relationship between libraries and publishers. Next are three articles on personnel issues relating to library programs. Finally, we close with an article on the evaluation of reference services and those who staff them in a changing environment. Each of these articles relate to important issues our organizations have to contend with as we budget resources so as to best serve our clientele. As a result, this volume will make a significant contribution to the literature of library and information center management.
