In the knowledge economy, professionals have to make decisions about non-tangible, non-monetary, and largely invisible resources. Information professionals need to understand the potential uses, contributions, value, structure, and creation of broadly intangible intellectual capital in libraries. In order to fully realize intellectual capital in libraries, new practices and skills are required for library management practitioners and researchers.

One of the first books of its kind, Managing Intellectual Capital in Libraries offers practical methods and techniques for recognizing, understanding, and using intangible resources in libraries and information organizations to their fullest extent. It applies principles used in other economic sectors specifically to libraries, helping librarians, information professionals, and researchers balance their assets and improve services and operations. Illustrated with thorough, real-life examples, this book will give readers a strong basis for appreciating and fully utilizing intellectual capital in their libraries.
