Popis: At present more and more organizations abandon hierarchical and bureaucratic models of organizational structures and adopt more flexible forms, which enable them qualitative performance and faster adjustment to their business environment. Such an or-ganization is the 1ibrary, which has to be open and flexible in order to be successful and provide qualitative services to the fastly changing environment. When the library is integrated in an educational, research or state organization, the organizational structure of the parent organization could be projected on it as it happens with other departments in the same organization. A conservative hierarchical or bureaucratic structure of the parent organization is completely against the nature and content of the Iibrary achvities, and could diminish its performance efficiency and service quality. In many cases the performance of the library can be improved by its reengineering.
