Applications of knowledge management in the area of Librarianship and Information Science

Abstract

The knowledge management (KM) has become an important guideline for the Information and Knowledge Society, as well as for libraries. Thus, this article presents a literature review using a systematic approach, with the proposition of identifying trends and applications of knowledge management in the areas of Information Science and/or Library Science. It has been noticed that there are differences between the concepts of information management and knowledge management characterized as barriers to the implementation of KM. Libraries have often developed KM activities (especially regarding the sharing of knowledge, through Web 2.0 features). The uses currently applied are related to the use of blogs, wiki tools, shared classification systems (tagging), social networks, among others. But in some cases, the libraries are not properly aware of their work. It is necessary that they make KM a part of their routines and think of it in a systematic way, in order to channel resources, planning, among other things, and benefit from the improvements that can be achieved through KM, perfecting their services and satisfying their users.

Use of different information and communication technologies in Indian academic libraries

“…Based on the review of literature, Bem and Coelho (2013) identified the trends and applications of modern ICT-based tools in libraries and found that libraries often developed ICT-based applications (especially regarding the sharing of knowledge through Web 2.0 features). Modern ICT-based tools, such as blogs, wikis, shared classification systems (tagging), social networks, etc., are mostly used in libraries.…”

Integration of Artificial Intelligence Applications and Knowledge Management Processes for Construction Projects Management

“…Although it is not possible for those with great experience to be compatible with the uses of AI in their work, they received a high rating in knowledge management despite their reliance on the manual method in implementing activities. The results show that the respondents who have experience (10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20) have experienced most of the different applications in AI and have become experienced in their field of work by using AI applications. As for those who have little experience, they need higher training to compete with those with greater experience due to their ability to understand the basics and applications of artificial intelligence.…”

“…3) Collect knowledge in an organized manner, analyzed and purified. It is arranged, coordinated, and fragmented to be stored in the best way, but taking this into account, it must be quickly circulated, published, and extracted accurately and efficiently by any individual working in the organization [17].…”

Continuous Professional Development Research in the Library and Information Science

“…Abstract screening involves accessing and reviewing each abstract of retrieved papers to ensure that they are relevant to the study's scope (For this study, Topic= CPD/CEP/ CE/CPE/LL; Inclusion criterion: LIS professionals/ libraries/ librarians). Other researchers have used this manual approach of abstract screening 31 . One advantage of this study over other bibliometric studies that use large samples without assessing content relevance (mostly because of the extensiveness of the subject under study) is the use of the abstract screening method.…”
