Διαχείριση της γνώσης (Knowledge Management) και βιβλιοθήκες

Abstract

The paper defines the knowledge management (KM) as the understanding the information flow in organizations. The characteristics of KM are presented, too. Libraries are the institutions that traditionally manage knowledge and information through the classification process. The implications of KM in libraries include gathering queries and answers, links to documents related to queries, favorable sources in any format and any other source of information generated by the organization to create a pool of knowledge in favor of the organization. Libraries are pertinent places to organize, codify and make the information sources accessible. Libraries can be transformed to enterprises of creating knowledge.
