| abstract | Knowledge management is a popular subject in management and management literature: many authors unfold theories on knowledge management and organisations are keen to show how up-to-date they are in applying knowledge management.
The role of the library in organisations working with knowledge management is also described in the professional literature - this usually concerns libraries of large commercial organisations and especially consultancy firms.
The application of knowledge management in universities, let alone the role of university libraries in that area, is not often described in the literature.
In search for ways to fulfil this need I found that not very much is known about knowledge sharing in universities and their libraries. This led to the idea to do some research into this phenomenon. |
