The purpose of this paper is to examine librarians' perceptions of knowledge management, including its concept, potential applications, benefits and major challenges of its applications in Indian academic libraries. A structured questionnaire, containing both open and close-ended questions, was sent by postal mail to 30 librarians of academic libraries in India of which 15 questionnaires were returned. Respondents were asked to define knowledge management and answer questions on its potential applications, benefits and major challenges of the knowledge management applications in academic libraries. Respondents were also allowed to specify their own views on the subject. The findings of the study show that there is a minor difference in how librarians define knowledge management. However, most of them focus on the use of technology or specific processes for the capture and use of explicit knowledge, rather than sharing and using more intangible knowledge embedded in the employees. They have positive attitude towards the applications of knowledge management into academic library practice, and not only because this can bring academic libraries closer to their parent organization, but also because it may help them to survive in an increasingly challenging environment. Although, librarians in the present study acknowledged that they are involved in the practices of knowledge management, but these were perceived as basic information management activities. Lack of understanding of knowledge management concepts, knowledge sharing culture, top management interest, incentives and rewards, financial resources and information technology infrastructure are perceived as the major barriers for incorporating knowledge management into academic library practice. Highlights The term 'intangibles knowledge' has been replaced by 'tacit knowledge' as suggested. KM initiatives in India The full names of the research laboratory acronyms "CSIR, ICMR and ICAR" have written. Discussion Typographical errorsAll the typographical errors, which were pointed out, corrected accordingly. Detailed Response to ReviewersHighlights  Librarians' perceptions of KM in India are shallow dealing with the management of only explicit knowledge or information management rather sharing and using tacit knowledge embedded in employees.  Respondents of the study have positive attitude towards the applications of KM into academic library practice, and believe it can improve library operations and services and bring academic libraries closer to their parent organizations.  Librarians in India are mostly involved in applying IT-based solutions, either for the management of various library operations and services or the development of intranets and institutional repositories, but no evidence has emerged for involvement in the creation and sharing of tacit knowledge.

“…Fatmawati (2013) mengatakan bahwa transformasi peran pustakawan perguruan tinggi diperlukan dalam rangka mewujudkan layanan perpustakaan yang humanis, yang mencakup transformasi dari: (a) budaya lisan menjadi budaya tulis; (b) layanan perpustakaan berbasis sumber daya fisik menjadi berbasis pengetahuan; (c) layanan koleksi fisik (kertas) menjadi layanan elektronik/digital (paperless); (d) pengelolaan perpustakaan sendiri menjadi berkolaborasi; dan (e) paradigma ahli kepustakawanan saja menjadi ahli interdisipliner yang multidisiplin ilmu. Ketika tugas di perpustakaan, pustakawan dapat mensinergikan pengetahuan, konektivitas, dan komunitas dalam pemberian layanan referensi di perpustakaan (Vijayakumar & Vijayakumar, 2003).…”

Perpustakaan dan google ibarat dua sisi mata uang yang tidak dapat dipisahkan dan keduanya saling berkaitan. Keduanya yaitu perpustakaan dan google adalah sama-sama sebuah pusat informasi. Google sampai tahun 2016 telah sukses memindai 30 juta dalam 480 bahasa. Google menyediakan berbagai macam informasi serta hiburan. Mulai dari pelajaran sekolah, film, musik, serta berbagai lainnya. Meskipun perpustakaan tidak dapat menyaingi keunggulan google paling tidak perpustakaan memfasilitasi kemudahan akses untuk memanfaatkan google. Peran perpustakaan dalam hal ini sangatlah penting, karena pustawakan mampu memberikan informasi yang relevan dari sumber yang terpercaya. Pustakawan adalah sumber informasi, kita bisa bertanya seputar kebutuhan yang membutuhkan bukti otentifikasi dari sebuah pernyataan yang akan kita buat. Seperti mata uang, Perpustakaan dan google bisa kita gunakan sebagai sumber referensi kita untuk mencari informasi.

“…Disrupsi diri dapat dilakukan dengan cara membuka diri pada kemungkinan perubahan kemudian berupaya menemukan keunggulan lain yang bisa ditonjolkan. Hal yang memprihatinkan lagi bahwa layanan perpustakaan konvensional saat ini dapat terganggu jika pustakawannya kurang inovatif dalam memberikan pelayanan informasi ke pengguna (Chad, 2009 (Vijayakumar & Vijayakumar, 2003). Dalam hal ini, pustakawan perlu mempersiapkan pengetahuan, teknologi, informasi, komunikasi dan keterampilan sosial yang lebih kompeten di bidangnya (Azmar, 2018).…”
