The interest of library profession in management sciences is nearly half a century old. A library being a service institution all the functions and principles of management are applicable to libraries as well. S R Ranganathan wrote 'Library Administration' as early as in 1959. G. Edward Evans wrote 'Management technique for librarians' way back in 1983. Both these works are heavily referred by the professionals in the library world. 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.
