- W232745438 abstract "This paper examines the role of innovation in library operations, with an aim to incorporate innovative procedures that achieve convenience in practice, and efficiency and effectiveness in a simultaneous economic reduction. The methodology outlined in this paper is that of Best Practices. The objective of this method is to examine an organization's performance in a set of activities in order to accept it and, as a result, to adopt better practices in processes and improve its competitive position. The steps of the methodology include: (1) staff selection and training of those who will implement the method; (2) specification of focus areas; (3) examination of internal data; (4) selection of the tool; (5) breaking into basic pieces; (6) combination with the global functions which it implements; (7) determination if it adds value and how the cost could be reduced without reduction of its functionality; (8) analysis of the results and final report; (9) definition of actions and strategy development. The paper provides a brief definition of the five learning disciplines designed to enhance a staff development program: system thinking; personal mastery; mental models; shared visions; and team learning.

The information society, which followed on the industrial age, lets the opportunity these days more than before, for the information development and dissemination, in various forms and media in a local, national and international level. Additionally, individuals feel members of an open information system, not fixed by the locality and institutional isolation. Academic libraries gradually open to the public which are individuals who seek and use information in different ways. These signs are encouraging, but there is a need for the revision of codes and practice if optimal library services are to be provided for a mobile population. Additionally, the situation complexes more by the plenty of scholarly publishing, information sources, vendors, technological and organizational systems which guide to a confuse with a cost increase. The problem however is not the rules and procedures themselves, the problem are the combination of them with costs and funding in a time that c oNefiU6959 &if orittiotetae6I111 oiti aeadelece1)1 ABIde doeodeoeeP afu-dec dedelko. DatlUeeced is facing the challenges of change, which is an essential procedure, at the same time libraries enjoy the simplification of every day routines. Both of them oro rieUxIi51166. afoeodoeel) dedU OridaidoeeI) edoUoodoc are depended on technological improvements and development. There are two judgements that librarians have to be able to make about an operation such as library: the effectiveness and the efficiency. Is the library effective if it achieves the purposes for which it exists? (i.e. user satisfaction). Is it efficient if it achieves its objectives with the minimum of resources [l ]? It is generally accepted for these days practice that to enhance effectiveness, achieve excellence, and ensure survival ability, library leaders need, in full collaboration with staff members, develop conscious, explicit processes for organizational change. There is the sense within the field that investment now is demanded in both technological innovation and organizational change to accommodate it. [2] Continuous planning, which treats planning as an evolving process, incorporates reference to the environment and adaptations based on learning. This contributes to the concept of the learning organization, defined by David A. Garvin, as one that is skilled at creating, acquiring, and transferring knowledge, and at modifying its behavior ti reflect new knowledge and insights. [3] V.1 The library functions then involve and presume communication and the continuous interaction, which (r) advance and evolve the library progress and performance. 1- So, the final question is: Can innovative procedures achieve convenience in practice, efficiency and effectiveness in a simultaneous economic reduction?
