<p>Since running a small library―public, academic, school, or special―often means making do with little or no staff, this challenging task calls for its own set of skills and expertise. That's where Moorman's how-to manual comes in, offering guidance on every essential aspect of what it takes to run a small library. Fully revised and updated, including a new chapter on digital library services, the second edition covers such day-to-day issues as</p>
<ul>
<li>Budgeting, from planning to advocacy</li>
<li>Developing and implementing policies and procedures</li>
<li>Maintaining facilities</li>
<li>Acquisition, cataloging, and collection development and management on a shoestring</li>
<li>Circulation</li>
<li>Programming, outreach, and community partnerships</li>
<li>Library technology, from computers and networks to automation systems and beyond</li>
</ul>
<p>Also featured is an updated resource section listing furniture, automation, book, and periodical vendors; electronic discussion and support groups; professional organizations; and resources for more information. This book is a must-have for any solo librarian or library manager with a small staff.</p>
