This article presents the theoretical core of new institutionalism - a theory used widely by the researchers in politics, economics and sociology, though with only several attempts to adapt this theoretical approach in librarianship. Three institutional pillars - regulative, normative and cultural-cognitive - are analyzed with illustrations from the everyday work of academic libraries. It is suggested that sometimes unseen details like cultural patterns and traditions as well as factors like regulative laws, professional associations and normative pressures influence academic libraries and their direction of change.
