Preparing the libraries for the fourth industrial revolution (4th IR). Journal PPM: Journal of Malaysian Librarians, 12 (1). pp. 53-64. ISSN 1823-6308 (2018)
Abstract
The disruptive changes of the 4th Industrial Revolution era to the libraries come from many aspects and the common discussion is about managing the technology innovation.There are general propositions on how to handle disruptive changes but the specific description for the library to take comprehensive strategic actions are still unexplained. Therefore, this article intends to explain four strategic actions that could be taken to control the disruptive changes as preparation for the libraries. The four strategic actions are explained on the aspects of reshaping the organizational behavior, redesigning business model, restructuring business process workflow, and; remaking job descriptions and roles. After the strategic steps have been taken, the library could focus on reacting accurately towards assumptions, challenges and opportunities, and emerging trends. These are the important matters that one needs to be concerned with to ensure libraries remain relevant for upcoming years.
