Personnel Organization and Procedure 
A Manual Suggested for Use in
College and University Public Libraries
Libraries Second Edition ļ Second Edition
W ritten as if they w ere actual personnel manuals, these theoretical models provide a 
framework for administrators preparing their own statements. The systematic cover­
age given the basic principles and procedures of sound personnel adm inistration also 
allows for easy modification to fit local circumstances. Among the topics covered are: 
organization and administration; classification of positions; salary schedules; p e r­
formance evaluations; working conditions; and staff relationships. The imaginative 
and practical approach in these revisions of the 1952 editions will simplify the work 
of administrators in producing their own manuals.
