Abstract

This study treated the level of working environment preparedness in Dr. Ahmed Erwa Academic Library of the Amir Abdul Kader Islamic Sciences University -Constantine-, to adopt knowledge management as an ideology, methodology and processes. That has been realised by testing the library workers' acceptance for some behaviors and practices, which are the indicators of readiness to knowledge management adoption via one of the readiness assessment models for knowledge management, which is designed to coincide the specifics of the academic libraries. Our model based on four enablers which are: Organizational Leadership, Organizational Culture, Organizational Processes, Information Technology. The study concluded that: The qualifications of the library leadership are good and sufficient to guide the library toward a sharing culture. Organizational culture of the library is acceptable to coincide the principles of knowledge sharing and collective work. Organizational processes in the library plays a rather good role in supporting knowledge sharing culture. Technological Infrastructure in the library does not support collective work and knowledge sharing, also has weakness in exploitation.
