Managing Library Volunteers (2nd ed.)

摘要

With the current anxieties and disquiet concerning the use of volunteers in libraries generally this book from ALA is both timely and helpful to any librarian faced with the many problems and ramifications of using library volunteers. Although American in style and context, the book's authors raise many interesting and pervasive points. For instance they comment perceptively on the substantial and significant changes wrought by the internet and ICT generally upon libraries. To quote: "a direct result of this surge of technology and training is an increase in computer literacy amongst adults and in increase in technology savvy volunteers".
