The meaning of income in terms of management is also discussed. Within this framework, we conduct a…

Correa, Hector; Correa, Virginia – Library & Information Science Research, 1996
The identification and description of the personnel components of a library and their interrelations are used to construct an input-output model similar to those used to analyze the interdependence among sectors in an economy. This model makes it possible to forecast personnel requirements resulting from changes in demands for library services.…
