DESCRIPTION/EVALUATION:
	This book offers a series of vignettes on the application of specific
Total Quality techniques to specific academic situations.  It is a
collection of what librarians call "how I done good" literature.  The
introduction is really a sales pitch for the TQM method and does little 
provide a framework for the papers which follow, indeed, most of the 
papers assume a familiarity with TQM and its techniques.  The book 
would be useful for faculty and staff seeking "brainstorming" ideas
for TQM implementation.
