Abstract

Highlights the need for libraries to become learning organizations to enable them to survive by responding appropriately to change. Warns that there is no cookbook recipe for creating a learning organization but identifies some of the necessary conditions, underlines the importance of individual learners in building a learning organization, and describes how individual learning should be managed. Concludes with an examination of the challenges facing library and information professionals.
