Abstract
This chapter consists of an overview of library management history based on past core research. Library management has followed and applied business management theories around a decade later than in the business world. In the 1960s, library management also experienced a paradigm shift from the traditional management of libraries into strategic management, emulating business management. Finally, the author outlines the objectives of this book, which include (1) understanding the influence and impact of business management on libraries by examining cases where strategic management theories have been applied; and (2) describing the inherent strategies in library management by using in-depth case analysis of library management.
