MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The goal of this paper is to analyze and evaluate how librarians could help transform their libraries into productive, innovative knowledge organizations. Libraries must be able to attract new users to increase footfalls through innovation. They should learn how to adopt entrepreneurial models of operation to maximize user satisfaction and attract investments from private sectors. Library professionals should take the initiatives to help design and foster entrepreneurship business models to make libraries economically independent and socially competent organization. They should adopt a model of knowledge entrepreneurship where librarians, besides being knowledge managers, would also act as intrapreneur within their organization.
