The present study aimed at exploring the state of the art of Business
process re-engineering in Sohag University (SU) college libraries. To
achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire was developed for
stakeholders in SU college libraries, in addition to personal interviews and
field visits.
A sample of 132 librarians represented the population of the study

degree of awareness among librarians of the concepts of administrative
development. However, the concept of managerial operations
reengineering was alien to them. There was absence of strategic planning,
librarian trainings, managerial bodies and regulating bylaws in SU libraries.
Results showed also some obstacles in the way of applying managerial
operations reengineering among them is the low level in using IT.

reengineering, developing librarians' capacities, determining a clear
managerial policy, and using IT skills in designing all managerial
