Now, developments in information technology have had a major impact in the management of libraries. The challenges posed by the electronic environment are profound and learning appropriate management skills to sustain themselves become imperative to library managers. A host of writers have addressed this issue from many dimensions. However, for the first time Krishan Kumar, a notable scholar in the world of library and information science, has written a book combining the functions and principles of library management and administration with the skills needed to handle the libraries in the electronic environment.
