Jag kan inte låta bli att vidarebefordra ett intressant och tankeväckande
dokument, som jag snappade upp på listan TQMLIB, angående visioner,
målsättningar, organisationspolitik och rekryteringsfilosofi för ett
universitetsbibliotek. 

Dokumentet är utformat vid Clemson University Libraries (maj 1995). 
Glad Påsk!
