Acclaim for previous editions:- 'Management is often considered to be a "dry" topic, and it is a pleasure to read a text book which from the outset establishes the need for dynamism, energy, vitality, inspiration, innovation and transformation. The book therefore describes itself a textbook to meet the challenges that face managers in a diverse and changing profession.
It is crammed with useful management tools and approaches and would be a useful addition to any information manager's bookshelf.'New Library World Vol 108 No 5/6 2007'This is an excellent textbook. It provides a clear conceptual overview of each topic which can be supplemented by further reading. The liberal use of headings and subheadings makes it easy to navigate. There is also an index to complement the book's logical and transparent structure. It is highly recommended as an introduction to management and leadership for its intended audience of those in the information services area and is of value for the wider services sector.'Australian Library Journal, February 2008'
the 2nd edition of Jo Bryson's work on managing information services definitely belongs to must-read books for LIS professionals, especially those in managerial positions of various levels.'Journal of Documentation Vol 65, No 5, 2009
