Knowledge management (KM) is probably the first major management trend to identify information and its management as a crucial element in the success of an organization.
In order for information professionals to participate fully in KM initiatives, or to be able to take advantage of the concept to improve the effective application of their skills, both the professionals and management need a good understanding of the KM approach and the information related roles within that framework. This book focuses on the potential role of the information professional in the KM environment and, using plenty of case studies, considers: the knowledge context - creating knowledge based environments in a range of sectors powering information: the role of information skills in KM.
Readership: This book will make topical reading not only for those seeking career development through KM but for all information professionals wondering exactly what it is and how it will affect their work. LIS graduates and postgraduates will also be potential readers.
Published in association with TFPL Ltd

Industry Reviews
The beauty of this book for me is that knowledge management is examined from the point of view of information professionals. (Information World Review)
