The aim of this literature review is to explore the theme of learning organizations in relation to academic libraries. Which are the concepts inherent in Senge’s theory?
Why should they specially apply to academic libraries? Are there any case studies in literature? Is there some aspect which still needs to be explored in view of practical implementations?
It is not the intent of this inquiry to summarize the findings of the countless earlier research efforts in the broader domain of learning organizations, most of which are predominantly speculative. The focus is on practical considerations and experimentations in academic libraries. Theoretical works are considered inasmuch as they shed light on the prerequisites for libraries to become learning organizations. |
