Abstract

[Purpose/significance] In the process of library policy formulation, there is a conflict between the multi-system logic. Library policy makers must take various adaptive strategies and behaviors to balance the demands of stakeholders so as to realize the sustainable development of libraries. Based on the perspective of multiple system logical conflict, we can see the process of library policy formulation in the US, and we can draw useful inspiration for our library's policy formulation and implementation process.[Method/process] This paper analyzes the conflict among the logic of the market, the logic of the library's operation and the logic of the society, and the actions of policy makers to make the policy compromise in the face of the logic of the three institutional logic through the case study of library in Illinois.[Result/conclusion] It is found that policy activists will flexibly cope with the legitimacy of the pressure and the logical conflict of the system through the establishment of extensive policy network, the phased consultation, the analysis of the strategic space, the change of the policy type and the establishment of the policy self-correcting mechanism.
