Abstract

This paper attempts to look at innovative services within the framework of disruptive innovation. Innovative services are further contextualised to the library services. Key points of disruptive innovations found to be very apt to the library services are analysed and questions of whether to adapt, adopt or disrupt were raised. Non disruptive innovations services are distinguished from the disruptive innovative services. The risks of the disruption of individual library as oppose to the collective libraries are elaborated. Simple and affordable innovative services and conversion of non-users to users are suggested for sustaining the existence of the libraries.
