No pain, no gain: stretching the library dollar

Based on a presentation originally given at the American Association of Law Libraries’ annual meeting in Seattle, 15 July 2003, ten important, though sometimes underdeveloped, approaches to fiscal management are presented. While originally intended for a law librarian audience, these sound, basic approaches are pertinent to all libraries in general, and especially small libraries located within larger organizations. The need to communicate with non‐library staff and management – and successful ways to do this – is emphasized.
