Special attention will be given to the managerial and leadership attributes that the decision-makers (e.g., university presidents, provosts, members of search committees, or members of the board of trustees) considered to be important. This study hopes to provide examples of leadership attributes that aspiring academic library leaders, especially those who desire to lead large academic and research libraries, may want to develop.</p>}, number={1}, journal={International Journal of Librarianship}, author={Le, Binh P.}, year={2019}, month={Jul.}, pages={19–37} }
