Abstract
Knowledge Management (KM) identifies information and its management as a crucial element in the success of an organisation. This is an explanation of KM for the library professional, providing an understanding of the KM approach and the potential information-related roles within it. Using many case studies, the book sets out: the theory of KM; the application of the concept in different corporate (public and private) sectors; the potential roles for the information professional; and the range of skills employed by individuals participating in the KM approach.
