Knowledge Management

Knowledge Management (KM) is the process of capturing the knowledge, including and especially that which resides in the heads of people, organizing it in a way that makes it readily usable and ensuring that it is shared. If this sounds familiar, it probably is. "[Librarians] need to change some things about how they do their work, but the awareness and application of knowledge has always been at the center of their jobs (Davenport & Prusak). This buzzword turned business phenomenon may be just the push our profession needs to grab a piece of the spotlight for all our hard work. Make Knowledge Management a valued item in your toolbox today!
