This paper is intended to review the key aspects of the environmental changes now occurring around libraries, information centers and library professionals, followed by a tentative proposal with the aim of making a breakthrough for them in the digital era. We will focus our attention on information professionals in special libraries, information centers and so on. They have been exposing themselves to the risk that the resources assigned to their libraries would be easily reduced, infl uenced by the diffi culties in fi nance and the renewal of management plans of parent organizations, mainly due to economic depression. This makes them even more sensitive to effi cient and effective management of their libraries.
By analyzing them, we are able to acquire some �leading indicators� in library services management and human resource management for library people.
