This edited volume will present chapters written by community college librarians and library administrators. Since many community college libraries have a smaller staff size, it is incumbent on community college librarians to be advocates, mentors, and leaders within their department. As an integral part of the academic structure of community colleges, librarians must also serve in leadership roles at the college and district level. The organizational structures of community college libraries vary across the United States, and each of these structures can create a different set of challenges for a library. Despite these differences most libraries have a set of management tasks that still need to be accomplished, whether they are happening in formal or informal capacities. This book aims to include chapters that address library management and leadership at community colleges.
