“…KMM includes various levels to determine the state of KM implementation (Mehta, Oswald & Mehta, 2007). According to Chawla & Joshi (2010), the starting point is where the organization does not have a KM system in place, followed by the firm"s ability to be reactive, aware (data-driven decision-making), convinced (ability to sense and respond proactively to changes in technology and business environment) and ready to share (shape technology and business environment). This KM framework encompasses business strategy, people, processes and technology and follows a principle of incremental change, while not forcing employees to use the system (Suresh & Mahesh, 2008).…”

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.

Some research lacks about public sector are pointed (Razzaq et al, 2018;Chawla and Joshi, 2010;Cong and Pandya, 2003) and knowledge transfer (Martin-Perez and Martin-Cruz, 2015; Syed-Ikhsan and Rowland, 2004) that justify this research.

Purpose-This paper aims to analyse the relationship between the organizational commitment, the knowledge transfer and the knowledge management maturity at a Brazilian public university. As indicated in the literature, the organizational commitment and the influence on knowledge management in the public sector, especially in developing countries, configures an important gap to be filled (Razzaq et al., 2018). Design/methodology/approach-The research has a descriptive and quantitative nature, and to run the analysis, an exploratory factorial analysis was conducted and after that a structural equations modelling was carried out. Findings-The results indicated a significant relationship between the organizational commitment to the knowledge transfer and, consequently, to the knowledge management maturity. Originality/value-In the first place, the model including all dimensions of commitment: affective, calculative and normative with knowledge transfer and knowledge maturity was not tested before. Second, data on the public sector in developing countries are still rare and studies in this field encouraged (Razzaq et al., 2018). In this case, the present study contributes in this field, specifically in the education sector. Finally, understanding the individual commitment profile helps to understand the extent to which that person contributes both to the knowledge transfer, and therefore, in the same analogy, to the knowledge management maturity level.
