EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
All organizations irrespective of their size exist in an ever changing environment and are therefore prone to experience change. Change in the library may be geared towards the whole library such as changing the organizations culture or geared towards some part of the organization such as changing technology or work procedures. According to Connor, Lake & Stackman (2003) organizational change is a deliberate measure to adjust to processes, culture and strategic direction in an organization. Amaning (2009) also defines organizational change as a process by which organizations such as academic libraries move from their present state to some desired future state with the aim of increasing their effectiveness in achieving their set out goals. The objective of planned organizational change in academic libraries is to find new and improved ways of using their resources and capabilities to increase their ability to create value for their stakeholders and patrons. Joshi (2008) identifies downsizing, rightsizing, introduction and implementation of new technologies, mergers and acquisitions as common changes in academic libraries in recent times.
