Der Band spricht einige der weltweit neuesten Entwicklungen im Bibliotheksmarketing und Bibliotheksmanagement an, die die Befriedigung lokaler Bedürfnisse in einer globalen Informationsgesellschaft als Herausforderung begreifen.

Einige Autoren beschreiben erfolgreiche Programme, die entworfen wurden, um Bibliotheken innerhalb einer Gesellschaftsgruppe, einer Nation oder einer akademischen Gemeinschaft zu fördern.

The papers collected in this volume were presented at the conference entitled "Library Management and Marketing in a Multicultural World" in Shanghai, China from August 16-17, 2006, held under the auspices of the Marketing and Management Section of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA). This book addresses some of the latest developments in the marketing and management of libraries worldwide, recognizing the challenges to meet local needs in a global, information society.
