Libraries have a long history of managing knowledge but now face new challenges in the knowledge economy. As knowledge has increased and its half-life decreased, traditional methods may no longer meet needs. The evolution of knowledge management includes moving from tangible to tacit knowledge and leveraging networks for collaboration. Preserving knowledge requires capturing, organizing, storing, retrieving and maintaining both explicit knowledge found in documents and tacit knowledge held by individuals. Knowledge markets use brokers to connect knowledge providers and users through virtual marketplaces. Social networking allows knowledge sharing through various mechanisms including discussions, repositories and digital libraries. Networks are governed through open collaboration and peer production to create shared value on a global scale.
Knowledge management explained by Enamul HaqueEnamul Haque
Knowledge Management, (KM) is a concept and a term that arose approximately two decades ago, roughly in 1990. Quite simply one might say that it means organizing an organization's information and knowledge holistically, but that sounds a bit wooly, and surprisingly enough, even though it sounds overbroad, it is not the whole picture. Very early on in the KM movement, Davenport (1994) offered the still widely quoted definition:
"Knowledge management is the process of capturing, distributing, and effectively using knowledge."
This definition has the virtue of being simple, stark, and to the point. A few years later, the Gartner Group created another second definition of KM, which is perhaps the most frequently cited one (Duhon, 1998):
"Knowledge management is a discipline that promotes an integrated approach to identifying, capturing, evaluating, retrieving, and sharing all of an enterprise's information assets. These assets may include databases, documents, policies, procedures, and previously un-captured expertise and experience in individual workers."
Knowledge management (KM) is the process of creating, sharing, using and managing the knowledge and information of an organization. It refers to a multi-disciplinary approach to achieving organizational objectives by making the best use of knowledge

The Knowledge Economy:Wherefore Libraries
1. The Knowledge Economy:
Wherefore Libraries
Albert Simard
Presented to:
Eastern Canada Chapter
Special Libraries Association
Nov. 22, 2007 Ottawa, Ontario
1
2. Libraries have a long history…
Librarians have been
managing knowledge
for about 2,500 years
Library at Alexandria
established in 283 BC
Capture and store the
worlds knowledge
Library of Alexandria – artist’s concept
But… 2
3. Tradition is not enough…
“While they all make varying use of corporate
libraries and information systems, few
knowledge workers feel that these groups can
be relied on for more than a modest amount
of their information needs.”
James McGee and Lawrence Prusak
Managing Information Strategically (1993)
3
4. Knowledge Economy
Success based on what you
know, not what you own
Value of goods based on
knowledge, not material
Creating and using
knowledge is the key
Organizations must evolve
or become irrelevant
4
6. The Evolution of Knowledge
Management
KM Knowledge Type of Implications
Generation Carrier Knowledge
1st Artifacts Explicit Infrastructure for
acquiring, organizing,
sharing & reusing
knowledge
2nd Individuals Tacit Individual behavior,
capturing & exchanging
knowledge
3rd Networks Emergent Network connectivity,
group collaboration &
synergy
(Patti Anklam, 2007) 6
7. Knowledge Attributes
Knowledge is increasing; half-life is decreasing
Knowledge can be in many places at one time
Knowledge may be permanent or time sensitive
Knowledge is used without being consumed
Selling does not reduce supply nor ability to resell
Once disseminated, knowledge cannot be recalled
Thomas Stewart (1997) 7
16. Storing Knowledge Assets
• Information technology infrastructure
• Systems for archiving and managing knowledge
• Interface for entry and administration
• Data warehouse, distributed databases
• Information repository, records management
• Knowledge repository, knowledge map
• Digital libraries, traditional libraries
16
18. Maintaining Knowledge Assets
• Content integrity
• System and content security
• Access to content
• Service standards
• Migrate technology
• Life cycle management
18
19. Migrating Knowledge Assets
Paper
Punch cards
Paper tape
Magnetic tape
Computer disks
Floppy disks
Tape cassettes
Diskettes
CD-ROMS
Gone With the Wind
19
21. A Transactional
Knowledge Market
Supply (Providers)
Providers and users
connect through a
virtual marketplace
facilitated by
knowledge brokers
Government On-Line;
Demand (Users) Global Disaster
Information Network
21
23. Knowledge Brokers
Assist with search and retrieval
Assist in adapting knowledge to user needs
Maintain information repositories
Provide digital infrastructure for exchange
Manage the market infrastructure
Assist with knowledge dissemination
Increase awareness of knowledge availability
23
24. Knowledge Sharing: Mechanisms
Talking (real, virtual)
E-mail (individuals, list servers, distribution lists)
Chat rooms, forums, discussion groups
Communities of interest, social networks
Groupware (teams, working groups)
Symposia, conferences, workshops
Data, information, & knowledge repositories
Libraries (repositories, access, search, retrieval)
24
29. Digital Libraries: Characteristics
Documents are assembled on the fly
Large collection of digital objects
All types of digital material
Stored in electronic repositories
May be centralized or distributed
Accessible through national networks
29
30. Protecting Common E-Documents
Organizations (provider & user under one
organizational mandate)
Providers (generally not aligned with common
good, societal needs and long-term preservation)
Users (preservation tends to be user-centric)
Community archives (most complex)
Purpose (historical, cultural, scholarly record)
Legal protection (from liability from open access)
Access rights & restrictions (sustainable business model)
(Donald Waters, 2007)
30
32. Network Governance
Charter – Members agree to participate in
achieving common objectives, within a
network structure, with participant records
and accountability and common rights and
responsibilities to property.
Nature: Flexible, dynamic, opportunistic,
synergistic, unpredictable. (unstructured,
self-organized, maximizes reward)
32
33. Network scale
Group: few participants; elicit knowledge;
unstructured; aggregating knowledge
(knowledge services task group)
Communities: many participants; share
knowledge; self-directed; common interest
(organizational IM community)
Networks: massive participants; peer
production; emergent processes; common
ownership (Linux developers)
33
35. Network Principles
Openness – collaboration based on candor,
transparency, freedom, flexibility, and
accessibility.
Peering – horizontal voluntary meritocracy,
based on fun, altruism, or personal values.
Sharing – increased value of common
products benefits all participants.
Acting Globally – value is created through
very large knowledge ecosystems.
35
36. Network - Examples
Blogs – Individuals can easily publish anything on
the Web without specialized knowledge.
YouTube – enables easy publishing and viewing of
video clips on the Web.
SlideShare – Enables easy publishing and sharing
of PowerPoint presentations on the Web.
Innocentive – A global “Ideagora” where those who
need solutions and those with solutions can meet.
Wikis – Rapid collaborative development of
products; anyone can revise anything
36
37. Network Successes
Wikipedia –2 Million English entries; 165 Languages;
10 times larger then Encyclopedia Britannica
Linux – open-source operating system developed by
thousands of programmers around the world
GoldCorp – released geological data in an open
contest to find gold; increased reserves by factor of 4.
Procter & Gamble – uses network of 90,000 external
scientists to leverage internal research capacity.
Leggo – uses imagination and creativity of worldwide
toy owners to create new products.
37
40. Knowledge As a Commons
Prerequisites
Virtual (digitized, on an Internet server)
Economic (no cost to user; who pays cost?)
Legal (flexible copyright, license restrictions)
Primacy of authors
Facilitate (digitize, metadata, administration)
Remove disincentives (prepublication, no reward)
Create incentives (OA recognition, prestige)
Intellectual property
Constrictive (excludes imitation, restricts entry)
Facilitating (protects disclosure, dissemination)
Irrelevant (not air tight, grey areas)
(Hess and Ostrom, 2007)
40
41. Knowledge Commons Principles
An open, collective, and self-governed knowledge
ecosystem is more sustainable than restricted
knowledge held as a resource and property.
Imitation is important for transmitting social and cultural
knowledge.
Markets are important for organizing a knowledge
commons, but need to be well regulated to maintain
open access.
Open systems of recording and preserving knowledge
are important to democratic societies.
Hess and Ostrom (2007)
41
42. A final thought…
“The Internet allows users to become their
own librarians, able to research, study,
and investigate anything with nothing
more than a mouse and a keyboard.”
Francis Cairncross
