从复杂性基本内涵出发,阐述复杂性思维的基本特征;通过分析图书馆系统的开放性、动态演化性、自组织性、混沌性以及非线性等特征,指出图书馆系统本身是一个复杂系统;在此基础上提出应当运用复杂性思维来认识和指导图书馆管理,认为应该实施开放管理,建立远离平衡态调控体系,营造良好的民主氛围,建立相互配合的协同机制,建立互动发展的反馈机制,注意管理中的混沌性。 Based on the basic connotation of complexity, the basic characteristics of complexity thinking are expounded. By analyzing the characteristics of library system, such as openness, dynamic evolution, self-organization, chaos and nonlinear, the author points out that library system itself is a complex system. On this basis, it is suggested that we should use complex thinking to understand and guide library management, think that we should implement open management, establish a far-away regulation and control system, create a good democratic atmosphere, establish a synergistic coordination mechanism and establish a feedback mechanism of interactive development , Pay attention to the chaos in management.
