Library management innovation in the era of knowledge economy
Abstract: Management innovation is an important content of updating the ideas, ways and methods of paper writing in libraries. Library innovation should include management mode innovation, organizational structure innovation, cultural construction innovation, management means innovation and high-tech application. Library management innovation has become the soul of library's survival and development, which needs to be promoted in all directions and realized in many ways.

Keywords: knowledge economy; Library; management innovation

Library management innovation is the behavior that the library redesigns, selects, implements and evaluates the management system or organization, technology and culture with new ideas, new technologies and new methods, so as to promote the continuous improvement of the comprehensive efficiency of the library management system.

(A) the innovation of management mode

The innovation of management mode is the key to the innovation of library work. The collection carriers of modern libraries tend to be diversified and are in the transition period from traditional libraries to digital libraries.

The introduction of knowledge management mode into libraries is the requirement of the development of knowledge economy for library services, and it is also an inevitable stage of library development. At present, due to the progress of information technology, the number of commercial information service organizations is increasing, and their service means and contents have been extended to all service fields of libraries, and the long-term monopoly services and their advantages of libraries are gradually losing. The rich experience and corresponding professional knowledge accumulated by librarians over the years are the most competitive resources of the library. Therefore, in order to adapt to the development of knowledge economy and society, libraries must implement knowledge management, which includes two aspects: the data and information processing ability provided by information technology and the innovative ability of librarians. The core of management is to deeply develop librarians' intellectual knowledge resources, which is the core of library knowledge management and the most effective starting point for providing knowledge services.

(B) organizational structure innovation

The organizational structure of the library is the basic norm of the library work system. It stipulates the organization and command system of the library, and defines the division of labor and cooperation among librarians and the responsibilities of various departments and their members.

With the development of computer online cataloging and the change of access mode brought by online literature, the functions of cataloging and collection have also changed. More importantly, there are more and more intersections and blurred boundaries among information processing departments, information service departments and technical support departments. The linear structure previously set according to the workflow is networked to form a networked horizontal structure. The original vertical and multi-level functional organization structure restricts the effective play of modern library functions.

The adjustment of the organizational structure of modern library is to change the internal organization of the library based on the type of documents, so as to transform it into an organizational structure based on the business construction department and the reader service department.

1. It is necessary to break the limitations of the traditional hierarchical structure and eliminate the overlapping of functions between departments. Based on the principles of streamlining institutions, simplifying relationships, reducing links and improving efficiency, the traditional organizational system of libraries is reformed, functions are merged with similar businesses, vertical management levels are reduced, and the scale of library organizational structure is reduced, so that the organizational structure tends to be flat.

2. Change the situation of overlapping existing institutions and decentralized management. Adopt an open and dynamic organizational structure, eliminate obstacles between departments, form a smooth organizational system between departments, increase horizontal connections, enable them to adapt to changes in the internal and external environment, provide and absorb internal and external beneficial nutrients, and then reorganize and combine, thus producing the greatest integration effect.

3. The personnel structure of the library must be unified with the organizational structure. Librarians should master literature information management, computer, network, foreign languages and certain professional knowledge, and have the ability to create, organize, communicate and judge information. At the same time, librarians should form a dynamic, enterprising, belonging and cohesive group.

Knowledge will become the main wealth of society. By improving the organizational structure of knowledge management, library knowledge users can learn, communicate and enjoy knowledge in the form of teams, help them acquire new knowledge and knowledge innovation skills from their studies, and make them produce better benefits. At the same time, they can build themselves into a learning organization with innovative ability and competitive potential. This new team knowledge organization that keeps pace with the times is the basic requirement of library knowledge management, and it should also be the development direction of library organization management.

(3) Cultural construction. Innovation and innovation

If the library wants to give full play to the role of knowledge and better serve the society, it must cultivate a new library culture suitable for knowledge exchange and enjoyment.

Organizational culture usually refers to a special cultural tendency in the narrow sense of organizational management, especially the way of action, values and moral norms of all members of an organization in the long-term development process. The introduction of organizational culture theory into library construction is a supplement and reinforcement to the current standard management and system management of libraries.

The core of library organizational culture construction is to regard employees as the most important resource of library and the main factor to improve productivity. By building library culture and cultivating library spirit, people's behavior can be influenced and regulated by ideas and values. In a more equal organizational form, by establishing common goals, identifying values, forming group knowledge and cultivating atmosphere, a virtuous circle of high efficiency and high morale and the harmony of the overall relationship of the library can be realized. Make full use of the team's knowledge, experience, skills, abilities, talents and ambitions, stimulate the initiative and creativity of each employee, and meet the social needs to the maximum extent in cooperation and cooperation.

Through the construction of organizational culture system, we can coordinate internal interpersonal relationships, enhance organizational cohesion, cultivate team spirit and guide members to advance towards a common goal; Externally, through the specific visual experience and the behavior of each employee, the service concept and management quality of the library are conveyed, and the visibility and social recognition of the library are improved.

In order to give full play to the role of knowledge and better serve the knowledge economy, the library must establish a new organizational culture, cultivate the spirit of knowledge cooperation, and organize and develop the intellectual knowledge of the library by establishing a reasonable and effective organizational structure system.

1. Establish the internal expert knowledge base of the library and form the guidance chain of the best practice knowledge of the library;

2. Create a good environment for knowledge exchange and learning in the library, and stimulate employees' sense of ownership in knowledge management;

3. Establish the organization of knowledge asset management, and build and maintain the knowledge resources of library knowledge management;

4. Establish the internal knowledge local area network of the library, promote the smooth communication channels of tacit knowledge, and gradually establish a new organizational culture with knowledge innovation as the core.

(D) the innovation of management tools

Library management means should be changed from manual management to automatic integrated management system. Only by constantly exploring new service methods to adapt to the development of the times and the needs of readers can the service purpose of the library be better reflected. Even the traditional lending service must be integrated with reading guidance in order to be welcomed by readers. In the past, interlibrary loan, which was mainly manual, can also be quickly realized by e-mail. With the development of network technology and the purchase of a large number of CD-ROM databases, libraries can give full play to consulting services, subject tracking, information retrieval and other aspects, and at the same time make it possible to carry out services such as sci-tech novelty retrieval and citation analysis. Developing brand-new service projects will inevitably expand the readers' benefit and directly improve the service effect.

Facing the diversified and rapidly developing reading demand, no library can undertake the heavy responsibility of providing all-round information services to the whole society. It is imperative to strengthen cooperation among libraries and promote library alliance and interaction.

1. Macro control and planning of library cooperation should be strengthened. At present, due to the management system of vertical restraint and compartmentalization, the overall development order of libraries is chaotic, and it is difficult to carry out inter-library cooperation smoothly. For example, at present, digital libraries under construction in China, on the surface, all libraries strive to be fully functional and perfect. However, this fragmentation and low-level redundant construction lead to poor database quality, incompatible software, low degree of * * *, small scale and so on. , reducing the comprehensive function and overall strength of the library.

2. Strengthen the construction of library cooperation network. Library cooperation network is an important carrier or platform for library cooperation. On this platform, the cooperation between libraries to build collections, online cooperative cataloging, interlibrary loan and document retrieval can be carried out smoothly, and resource sharing becomes a reality. Therefore, based on the principles of equality, mutual benefit and voluntariness, we should strengthen the construction of regional library cooperation network and lay the foundation for inter-library cooperation.

3. Strengthen the development and utilization of CD-ROM database resources and online resources. For a long time, the development and utilization of literature resources in many libraries have remained in the basic work stage, and they are only satisfied with compiling some secondary literature retrieval tools such as collection catalogues and indexes to meet the general reading needs of readers. With the increasing demand of readers for literature information, it is necessary for the library to use primary literature and secondary literature for analysis and research, and to compile various retrieval tools such as special reference materials.

4. Librarians should not only master the professional knowledge of library science and basic skills such as foreign languages and computers, but also infiltrate into other professions, not just as "keepers". Librarians should have specific professional knowledge, so as to understand the development trends and latest achievements of related disciplines, improve their own ability of document collection, sorting, processing, storage and retrieval, truly develop valuable information resources in the collected documents, and provide useful document information for readers quickly and accurately. Therefore, the library must take measures such as professional training, going out for further study and on-the-job study to strengthen the knowledge structure and professional level of librarians and cultivate and bring up high-quality librarians. At the same time, according to the needs of modern libraries, reasonable talent teams such as age structure, subject knowledge structure and professional title structure are arranged in a planned, organized and step-by-step manner to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of library development.

5. Strive for potential readers, thus expanding the readership. Therefore, the library must do a good job in publicity and promotion, compile a reader's guide, educate readers regularly, and hold special lectures on the library irregularly, so that more readers can fully understand the library. In addition, each service window should carry out reference service for readers to improve readers' ability to use the library. Libraries should also attach great importance to readers' feedback information and the investigation of readers' service benefits. Through interviews, seminars, questionnaires, questionnaires, suggestion boxes and other forms, we can understand and master the relevant situation of readers, so as to improve the work of all links and improve the overall service level of the library.

(V) Innovation and application of high and new technology

Technological innovation is related to the development prospect and future destiny of university libraries. An important index to measure the application level of library information technology is the library automation system.

1. Strengthening high-tech research is the most important thing to promote the construction of digital library. Select and introduce a business management system with advanced technology, perfect functions and good stability, so that it can complete the acquisition, cataloging and circulation of the library in a standard format and meet the needs of resource enjoyment and sustainable development.

2. Establish a digital resource management system to realize the effective utilization and enjoyment of resources. The system should be an object-oriented distributed platform-independent system. Including information acquisition and creation, storage and management, access and query, release and transmission, and rights management. The management mechanism and operation mode should be designed based on Internet/intranet network environment, so as to provide readers with high-quality digital resources information service and realize digitalization, networking and globalization of information resources. Technological innovation is a necessary condition for system innovation, management innovation and service innovation, and it is the technical guarantee for realizing innovation in these fields.
