I’m hoping that some of you might have recommendations about a textbook for an advanced management class that I’ll be teaching for the first time at Wayne State University during the Spring/Summer term. The course will be entirely online. I’d prefer using a textbook for this topic rather than a series of articles, but I didn’t have much luck finding one when I talked to the library science publishers at the Boston ALA Midwinter Meeting. The few leads were all published over five years ago. I use Evans and Ward Management Basics for Information Professionals for the introductory course. I like the fact that this text talks about “management mistakes” and includes more substantive discussions than the earlier editions.

 

I’d be open to suggestions for a non-library text but want to avoid an emphasis upon profit making activities.

 

Contacting me off-list might be better unless others also have interest in this topic.

 

Thanks for any help.

 

Bob
