Framework for creating a culture of learning and knowledge sharing in libraries and information services

Summary/Abstract: The performance of an organization, including an infodocumentary structure such as a library or an information service, depends largely on its organizational culture, on the values it promotes. The competition on the market of information transfer has made libraries and information services orientate towards managerial processes aimed at the most important resources nowadays - the knowledge resources. Such a process is the knowledge management, and an essential role in its implementation in an institution has the organizational culture. A culture that supports learning and knowledge sharing supports organizations for such an approach and also helps them obtain performance and enjoy success in their environment. The article presents elements of a framework for creating a culture of learning and knowledge sharing in the infodocumentary structures. These elements were identified through a research on knowledge management in Romanian academic libraries which also had as a result the development of a model for the implementation of this process in the infodocumentary structures.
