Managing knowledge capital in public libraries for a knowledge-driven socioeconomic environment
Abstract
Intellectual capital and public libraries are closely related in our experiences and in
our minds. In this viewpoint, the libraries and the information professionals,
consciously or unconsciously, have been deeply involved in the management of
library’s knowledge capital resources. Understanding and managing the public
libraries’ knowledge capital is essential since conventional capital alone is no longer a
sufficient condition for success. This paper initially provides the fundamentals of
intellectual capital and knowledge assets management for public libraries.
Thereafter, a number of more intricate management issues are discussed including
social value creation and intellectual capital, library goodwill, cooperation and
competition (co-opetition) dynamics within library networks and the physical location
effect on library knowledge capital.
