Introduction

Given the diversity and pluralism of organizations, library and information agency managers must be able to make sense of and use multiple perspectives.  They must bring their knowledge to a wide range of decisions each day.  Organization theory can help managers to think abstractly and to apply abstract reasoning to concrete situations.  Examples of applying theory to every-day practice (for problem-solving and creating new ideas and opportunities to learn) can increase learning capacity and inspire us to think, speak, and act broadly and wisely. Sharing examples using a web log provides another public forum to “speak” and to receive feedback.
