As the technological environment changes and libraries assume new and more active roles in their institutions, the traditional library hierarchy ceases to be an effective organizational structure. Guided by theories that emphasize teamwork, quality, and employee empowerment and participation, libraries are developing flatter, more networked organizations. The Health Sciences Library at Columbia University in New York, New York, recently underwent a reorganization in an effort to become a more resilient, more flexible organization. The process was beneficial overall. While some errors and confusion occurred, these are seen as opportunities for learning and evidence of the library's new atmosphere of creativity and experimentation.
随着技术环境的变化以及图书馆在其机构中承担新的、更积极的角色，传统的图书馆层级结构不再是一种有效的组织结构。在强调团队合作、质量以及员工赋权与参与的理论指导下，图书馆正在发展更为扁平、网络化程度更高的组织。位于纽约市的哥伦比亚大学健康科学图书馆最近进行了重组，以努力成为一个更具韧性、更灵活的组织。总体而言，这个过程是有益的。虽然出现了一些错误和混乱，但这些被视为学习的机会以及图书馆新的创造力和实验氛围的体现。
