The aim of this study is to deal with the subject related to
university library management from two points of view. If the first
point of view tends to highlight the importance of management as an
efficient instrument in the exploitation of information resources for
defined purposes, the second one consists in proving concretely the
relation between the problems that face university libraries and the
failure of their administrative activity.
This study aims at responding to the following question: to
what extent is management applied in the university libraries of the
Algerian South-East? We have attempted to do our work in a
methodic way applying the descriptive approach. Five chapters
constitute our research. The first chapter portrays the general frame of
the study and develops its methodological aspect. The second chapter
tends to clarify the concept of management which is considered at
present as the essential engine for any institution. The third chapter
defines the university library as an enterprise that has a position which
is similar to that of an economic or social enterprise. The fourth
chapter explains how management can be applied in university
libraries. The fifth and last chapter represents the practical part of the
study in which a survey is led upon a target population and through a
questionnaire in order to study concretely the situation of university
libraries in the South-East of Algeria and to observe to what extent
management is applied in these institutions to come out in the end
with some results that attempt to respond to our interrogations.
