Knowledge management is not one single discipline. Rather it is an integration of numerous endeavours and fields of study. This paper provides a framework for characterising the various tools and techniques available to knowledge management practitioners. It provides an overview of a number of key terms and concepts, describes the framework, provides examples of how to use it, and explores a variety of potential application areas. The stress of knowledge management tools and techniques has been manoeuvred to share knowledge through communication and collaboration tools which specify the shift from process to practice.
The new trend of e-collections with new technologies has given readers ample alternatives to experience the novel ways of reading it. Where an ease for users has been produced with e-resources; the challenge arises for managing e-collections has puzzled for libraries. It becomes more complicated when libraries need to develop E-Resource Management Systems (ERMS) not only for carrying off e-collections throughout their life cycle but also for aiding collection-development decision making. Therefore to provide a resolution to libraries based on cost effectiveness for managing e-collections and an easy way for users to utilize it, this paper introduces an open source software Calibre as an ERMS. Calibre helps to acquire, create, manage and also assists user to read open books on any eReader.
Library requires mighty technologies to support, sort and categorize information in the shortest span of time for better knowledge-tasks and decision-making. Ontology is one of the needs and adroitness which helps library users in acquiring better standardized vocabulary, better routes and better search. The chapter discusses how ontology libraries can process as a connection in modifying versatile users and diligence to reveal, judge, utilize, and disseminate the information overload. The Ontology–based Information Systems (IS) and Knowledge Management Systems (KMS) helps cognitive process of reaching a decision which are used to draw out user information and fuzzy ontologies are applied to store the accumulated knowledge.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
