“Effective academic library management involves trust and partnerships, developed over time, with faculty, staff and students. Longevity in management can thus be a boon to the organization. A good manager however, is also a leader that maintains a progressive atmosphere of invention and curiosity and brings a fresh outlook to the organization.”
