Business information is in strong demand by a wide range of library patrons. Academic librarians must meet the needs of undergraduates, graduates, and faculty who require information about businesses for their coursework and research; school librarians must deal with sophisticated financial questions from students in a variety of classes; public librarians must provide investors and job seekers with information about financial trends, prospective employers, and particular industries; and special librarians must provide their users with immediate and current data about clients, competitors, and markets. Business information is available in various forms, such as print sources, CD-ROMs, and on-line databases, and is particularly volatile, with the news of the morning often being more in demand than the news of the week before. The wide range of patron needs, product types, and constantly changing data makes managing business collections a particularly complex and demanding responsibility. This management guide provides a wealth of information to assist librarians who are new to managing business collections. Chapters written by expert contributors survey such topics as planning, financial and personnel concerns, and facilities management; the selection, acquisition, cataloging, classification, processing, and preservation of print and electronic material; and the provision of access, reference, and information services to both internal and external user communities. A selected annotated bibliography concludes the volume.

"The Business Library" is a handbook written with the purpose of giving brief comprehensive information to the business man on the subject of the business library as an indispensable earning factor in the conduct of business enterprises. It aims to tell how to organize and maintain a business library, what to do in order to get the best results from it, and to show by concrete illustrations, gathered from the experience of firms maintaining a library service, what the business library is worth as a financial asset. The subject matter is not designed to set forth the work of any one class of business libraries, but is a composite study of many. It records business library facts as observed by the author Louise B. Krause during ten years of service as a business librarian, and as such, may be also of value to librarians contemplating the undertaking of business library work.

The development of the electronic library -- from internal economic, management, and training issues to technical concerns and implementation strategies -- is one of the key problems facing today's information profession. At all levels there are many issues that challenge traditional notions of library management structure. Addressing the practical needs of librarians grappling with the changes wrought by technology, sections are devoted to the general nature of the electronic library, managing EIS at the campus level, management structures for electronic libraries, and resourcing and budgeting issues. Separate chapters also focus on specific services and functions, including reference and information systems, the "just in time" library, user training, technical services, and the full array of electronic services. Each discussion includes a current overview of the main topic bolstered by recent examples of practice and detailed case studies.
