“…Following our previous special issues on social robots (Kelner et al , 2022), smart cities (Chang and Abdel-Basset, 2022) and COVID-19 (Huang et al , 2021, 2022, 2023), we are glad to continue with part II of this special issue on contemporary technologies for education from part I (Chiu and Ho, 2023d) with 15 articles. As we have overwhelming responses on our recent special issues and thematic selection of articles to be published in recent issues (Chiu and Ho, 2021, 2022a, b, c, 2023a, b, c, 2024; Ho and Chiu, 2023), we shall continue this practice in organizing our publication and guide readers to thematic research and practices presented by authors of Library Hi Tech .…”

PurposeThe purpose of the present study was to identify the conditions that affect the absorptive capacity (AC) of knowledge, discover its consequences and design an AC paradigm pattern in public academic libraries. To do so, AC was investigated at the levels of individual and organizational learning.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, to answer the three major questions of this qualitative-survey study, the views of 24 experts were examined using an in-depth semi-structured interview and grounded theory strategy. The data were collected using a nonrandom combined targeted sampling procedure (targeted and snowball) and analyzed based on Strauss and Corbin’s (1998) approach and utilizing MAX Qualitative Data Analysis (MAXQDA) software.FindingsThroughout the grounded analytic stages, 121 open codes were identified. These were distributed around the AC axial category in academic libraries in terms of individual and organizational learning. The 33 axial concepts were then categorized into 16 selective general categories. The paradigm pattern was initially designed to explore the relationships between causal, intervening, strategies, context and consequences conditions. The transition from academic libraries to learning organizations, their increased functional value and the development of their innovation were identified as the consequences of AC development.Originality/valueThis qualitative research is the first in the field of Library and Information Science (LIS) to support AC both theoretically and empirically in terms of learning in academic libraries. This study thus not only addresses a key research gap in LIS but also provides significant insights and direction to interested librarians and researchers.
