Publisher's Synopsis

This book analyses:

  • the 'dysfunctional' concept in the professional and academic LIS discourse by exposing the internal problematics of libraries, especially at the social and organizational level.
  • dysfunctional nature of modern libraries, while simultaneously proposing solutions to reduce and alleviate dysfunction.

This book will be essential reading for librarians and LIS students currently working or preparing to work in public, college, and university libraries.
