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

Budgeting, from planning to advocacy
Developing and implementing policies and procedures
Maintaining facilities
Acquisition, cataloging, and collection development and management on a shoestring
Circulation
Programming, outreach, and community partnerships
Library technology, from computers and networks to automation systems and beyond

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.
