The University Library As Learning Organization for Innovation: An Exploratory Study

Abstract

This study examines an innovating university library as a learning organization and explores the mechanisms by which organizational learning facilitates innovation. Both qualitative and quantitative methods are applied. Three levels of library activity—individual, departmental, and organizational—are studied. Three aspects of a learning organization model are considered: continuous learning, team learning, and shared vision. Internet use serves as the outcome variable, representing innovation. Through qualitative analysis, a series of vehicles for organizational learning is identified, and partial support for the model was established through quantitative analysis.
