Knowledge Management
The capabilities by which communities within an organisation capture the knowledge that is critical to them, constantly improve it and make it available in the most effective manner to people who need it, so they can exploit it creatively to add value as a normal part of their work.

Andrew Carnegie
“The only irreplaceable capital an organisation possesses is the knowledge and ability of its people. The productivity of their capital depends on how effectively people share their experience with those that can use it.”

Tony Blair e-Summit November 2002
“The fundamental challenge is to create a knowledge-driven economy that serves our long-term goals of a first-class public service and economic prosperity for all. To do so we need to innovate. We need to use ideas and intelligence in new ways that create higher value added products and better quality services … and we must extend the opportunities of the information age to all.”

• Greater focussing of resources on mission critical knowledge
• Competitive advantage

H G Wells (Idea for a permanent World Encyclopaedia 1937)
“Few people as yet, outside the world of expert librarians and museum curators and so forth, know how manageable well-ordered facts can be made, however multitudinous, and how swiftly and completely even the rarest visions and the most recondite matters can be recalled, once they have been put in a well-ordered scheme of reference and reproduction.”
![Page 17: Knowledge Management “A set or organisational processes that create and transfer knowledge supporting the attainment of academic and organisational goals.”](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062720/56649f055503460f94c1ad5e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
[Knowledge] originates and is applied in the minds of the knowers. In organisations, it often becomes embedded not only in documents or repositories, but also in the organisational routines, processes, practices and norms.
Davenport and Prusak, 1998

“When you consider knowledge management, it is at the heart of higher education organisations seeing our mission as service to society, educational opportunity and research.”
A. Oosterlinck

Institutional and Individual Goals
Changing roles
Heterogeneous nature of students
Discipline-based difference
No “one size”
Personalised
Information from many sources

Questions to ask researchers?
What are the key knowledge sources that are needed?
In an ideal world what should the library provide?What barriers are encountered to access and use
sources?Is the content, format and delivery meeting need?If the library did not pay, would the department still
want it?Would you “own” less to “access” more?
