MAKING LEADERS IN LIBRARY FINANCE

Abstract

It is perplexing that the library profession, which has made such a prodigious response to changing technology and has worked ceaselessly to provide users with the best and latest information, should be lagging behind in the area of financial management. The typical background which most students bring to library studies is in the humanities. This, together with the relative dearth of coursework in administration available in most graduate library school programs, has resulted in far too many librarians assuming important fiscal responsibilities with little more than a sip from the wells of financial management education.
