- Introduction :
The challenge of Knowledge Management is to determine what information within an organization
qualifies as “valuable.”All information is not knowledge, and all knowledge is not valuable. The
key is to find the worthwhile knowledge within a vast sea of information. The term Knowledge
Management (KM) has become a key issue for government, industry and certainly Information
Technology (IT) executives. Organizations are becoming increasingly aware of the importance of
managing knowledge, like any other asset, to improve their competitive advantage. Knowledge
Management is only a perspective for implementing organizational change; which it gets people to
record knowledge and then share it
One of the aims of Knowledge management in libraries is to promote the knowledge exchange
among library staffs, strengthen innovation consciousness and abilities, and arise the library staffs’
enthusiasm and abilities for learning, making the knowledge most efficiently applied to the library
activities and rebuilding the library into a learning organization. Library plays a vital role in organizing,
managing and disseminating knowledge among the users.
