introduction

Hello and welcome to complexity and information organizations. The origin of this blog comes from my dissertation work on academic librarians and the influence their professional social networks have on their receptivity to innovation. In my study, I found that there is a clear relationship between the size of a librarian's professional social network and their receptivity to innovation. However, not surprisingly, there were other factors that influenced their receptivity to innovation as well.

This blog is designed to be a catalyst for thought and discussion on the environmental forces, and the interactions of those forces, that are driving change in our world and how that affects libraries and information organizations. And hopefully, we'll have some fun along the way as well.
