Leadership and Management Principles in Libraries in Developing Countries is a compilation of success stories epitomizing management and leadership strategies from developing nations around the globe.

Leadership and Management Principles in Libraries in Developing Countries is a collection of selected entries to the Special Libraries Association Leadership and Management Division's 2003 International Paper Competition for special librarians in developing countries. Each author describes the effective leadership and management that made their special library initiatives successful, providing references, tables, step-by-step instructions, and handy checklists for other librarians to use.

  • the American Cultural Center Library (now called the Rosa Parks Library) in Niamey, Nigerwhere the library was restructured from a simple reading room into a diverse cultural resource of exhibitions, seminars, and multilingual reference materials
  • the Federal Ministry of Industry headquarters Library in Nigeriawhere the library transformation was made possible through good leadership style, managerial expertise, and effective staff organization
  • the University of Swaziland Libraries in Swazilandwhere a strategic planning initiative helped the library widen Internet access, secure subscription funding for database access, and purchase updated equipment to enrich the instructional, research, and administrative functions of the library
