A study guide is presented for a course designed for the continuing education of professional librarians at the level of middle or upper management who find that they need understanding about human resources in the library system beyond that acquired on the job or in previous library education. The course has four units: (1) Management: A Systems Perspective and Approach; (2) The Worker--Human Being/Personality: A Systems Perspective and Approach; (3) Work, Management, and the Worker: An Integration of the System; and (4) Developing the Library's Human Resources: Managerial Strategies. Each unit is divided into several sections, for which objectives and course outlines are given. There is an annotated bibliography at the end of each section. An optional fifth unit contains three enrichment modules concerning the history of management concepts, concepts of management revealed through three major social groups, the effects of unions on employees and managers, and evaluation of the influences of perception in the work situation.
