Self-help ✦ Penny’s Take
Managing Stress and Conflict in Libraries
Sheila Pantry · 2007
65/100
👎 Skip It
Sheila Pantry's credentials are impeccable and the structured chapter format — learning points in front, reflective questions at the back — is genuinely useful for professional development. The problem is that the UK legislative focus and narrow audience limit this book's usefulness to a very specific reader, and at 140 pages it sacrifices the depth that audience probably needs. Library professionals outside the UK will find themselves skipping over large sections.
