Managing challenges of the academic library : shift the paradigm and put the library on the move

Abstract

The present and most turbulent phase in the history of the international library and information business, requires the academic library and information service to move. The urge for dynamic movement not only comes from new trends in the educational, technological, economic and social environment. It also comes from new approaches in management science and philosophy and the success stories of particular companies in the eighties early nineties.
