Abstract
The process of organisational transformation at the Academic Information Service (academic library) of the University of Pretoria, South Africa, is illustrated in a challenging and innovative way. Aspects of the new sciences, for example complexity theory and quantum mechanics, are related to aspects of organisational life, for example creative organisational structures and team‐based relationships.
