Abstract:
To continue to remain the backbone in research-intensive universities and centre for educational
excellence, academic libraries must have the capacity to renew library competences to respond
rapidly and promptly towards the new global health crisis, and effectively adapt, integrate, and
reconfigure the internal and external organizational repertoire to match the needs of users. During
COVID-19 pandemic, academic libraries need to be innovative and operate more virtual than
traditional. The dynamic capability framework assists library managers and policymakers in
recognizing aspects of enhancement capacity that require improvement. In conclusion, the
dynamic capability framework is an optimal decision-making alternative for library management
and academic libraries in the context of isolation, quarantine, and physical distance during the
COVID-19 era
