Most forward-thinking and worthwhile academic library practices originate at large, well-staffed institutions. Unfortunately, translating such practices from a large-scale research library to a small institution or one-librarian operation can be difficult, if not utterly impossible. The Small and Rural Academic Library: Leveraging Resources and Overcoming Limitations bridges this gap by speaking to librarians who feel handicapped by their lack of resources.
