RDA (Resource Description and Access) is a new standard for describing library resources, designed to replace AACR2. Library staff, including public services, systems personnel, and catalogers, may have heard mention of RDA but not know much about it or how it will change their daily work. You may have many questions. What is RDA? We'll give a very little bit of history and theoretical background. What is this going to mean for catalogers, ILS managers, and users in the near term? What are the future implications, or, why are we doing this? What are the juicy bits of controversy in cataloger-land? And finally, Do we HAVE to? We'll talk for a while, have some activities that get you thinking, and find out your thoughts on RDA.

Current awareness service a contemporary issue in digital era - anil mishraAnil Mishra
Current Awareness Services (CAS) provide important information to keep professionals informed in their fields. Traditionally, CAS involved selecting and disseminating newly available documents. With digital technologies, CAS delivery has shifted to be more personalized and timely. Effective CAS know the topics, users, information sources, and deliver the right information to the right user in the right format in a reliable and cost-effective manner. Common forms of CAS discussed include current awareness lists, selective dissemination of information, press clippings, research in progress announcements, and electronic methods like newsletters, blogs, RSS feeds, and mobile alerts.
Classification involves grouping similar entities together and separating dissimilar entities in a systematic order. Library classification arranges documents by classifying their subjects. It is a translation of the subjects into a preferred artificial language of ordinal numbers for arrangement on shelves or description.
There are various principles, schemes, structures, and devices used in library classification. Some key aspects include facets, isolates, decimals, and mnemonics to aid memory. Works are done at the idea, verbal, and notational planes which can be carried out independently. Various canons also provide guidelines for characteristics, succession, arrays, language use, and notations to build an effective classification system.

Finally, the document covers the reasons for practicing knowledge management and benefits of knowledge management systems.
Knowledge management is the process of systematically gathering, organizing, sharing, and analyzing an organization's knowledge resources, which can include documents, people's skills and expertise. The goal is to improve performance, create competitive advantage, and drive innovation. Knowledge management programs are tied to organizational objectives and aim to achieve specific outcomes through shared intelligence and improved performance. Knowledge is hierarchical with data becoming information, information becoming knowledge, and knowledge becoming wisdom. Key aspects of knowledge management include people, technology, and organizational design to facilitate knowledge sharing and growth.
This document discusses data, information, knowledge, and information management. It defines data as unorganized raw facts and information as organized data that has meaning. Knowledge is understanding gained through experience and study. Information management is defined as managing organizational processes and systems for acquiring, creating, organizing, distributing, and using information. It also discusses challenges of information management like the digital information explosion and how information management allows organizations to store, protect, and optimize information.
Knowledge management is important for organizations today for three main reasons: globalization, leaner organizations with increased workloads, and corporate amnesia due to increased workforce mobility. Effective knowledge management involves capturing knowledge (tacit and explicit), sharing knowledge through communities of practice, and embedding knowledge management systems into organizational processes. Key technologies that support knowledge management include intranets, groupware, document management systems, and knowledge bases. Case studies of knowledge management in Indian companies like NTPC, PowerGrid, and IT industries demonstrate how capturing tacit knowledge, collaborating, disseminating best practices, and driving innovation can provide benefits at the individual, community, and organizational levels.
The document discusses knowledge management (KM) and its importance for organizations. It defines KM as treating knowledge as an explicit concern reflected in business strategy, policy, and practice. KM is important because the modern economy is increasingly based on knowledge and intellectual capital. Effective KM involves capturing both explicit knowledge from sources like documents and reports, as well as tacit knowledge embedded in people's experiences. Key processes in KM include knowledge discovery, combination, socialization, capture, externalization, internalization, and sharing.

Knowledge management and Organizational Learningshiluswami46
Knowledge management and organizational learning are important for organizations to improve performance over time. Knowledge management is the process of creating, acquiring, capturing, sharing and using knowledge, while organizational learning focuses on improving the organization through experience. There are three types of knowledge - tacit knowledge which is personal and difficult to share, implicit knowledge gained from experience, and explicit knowledge which can be easily transmitted. For an organization to learn, individuals must first learn through interpretation of information, then share knowledge in groups to develop new approaches, and finally the organization institutionalizes lessons through experimentation.
This document provides an introduction to knowledge management (KM) in theory and practice. It discusses KM from multiple perspectives, including:
1. As a business activity that treats knowledge as an explicit concern, reflected in strategy and practice.
2. As a collaborative approach to creating, capturing, organizing, accessing, and using an enterprise's intellectual assets.
3. As drawing upon diverse fields like organizational science, cognitive science, and information technologies to manage both explicit and tacit knowledge.
The document outlines the multidisciplinary nature of KM and identifies key attributes like generating, accessing, using, and measuring knowledge. It also discusses drivers of KM, intellectual capital, and challenges in content management,

* increasing productivity
* retaining corporate memory
* leveraging value
* increasing capacity
* engaging diversity
1) Knowledge management is the process of discovery, acquisition, creation, dissemination and utilization of knowledge for the organization.
2) Knowledge management aims to improve organizational performance by maintaining and leveraging knowledge assets.
3) Critical success factors for knowledge management include leadership, culture, information technology infrastructure, and measurement.
This document proposes five guidelines for implementing knowledge management in higher education. The guidelines are: 1) Develop organizational knowledge by converting tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge. 2) Conduct a gap analysis to identify variances between requirements and capabilities. 3) Develop a knowledge management culture that rewards knowledge sharing. 4) Develop knowledge management leadership throughout the organization. 5) Implement an efficient knowledge management model, such as a batch model, to organize information.
Knowledge management requires investing in organizational culture, leadership, and tools to facilitate knowledge sharing. It allows organizations to be more competitive by accelerating innovation, reducing costs, and improving customer satisfaction. While challenging to implement due to issues like knowledge ownership, appropriate incentives and an open culture can overcome obstacles to create communities where knowledge is shared within and between organizations. Wikis are one tool that can help by allowing easy creation and editing of interlinked web pages.

UNIVERSITIES ACT 2012: IMPLICATION ON UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES By Dr. Tanui Tirongunulwbpartnership
The Universities Act of 2012 in Kenya established several new bodies that have implications for university libraries. It created the Commission for University Education to promote quality, set standards, and ensure universities comply with guidelines. It also formed the Universities Funding Board to provide financial support to universities from the government and donors. Additionally, it established the Kenya University and Colleges Central Placement Services Board to coordinate student placement into university programs. While the Act defines academic staff, it does not define or mention university librarians. In response, the document calls for forming a subcommittee to study the impact of the Act on libraries and to influence university statutes to prioritize library services.
E-publishing is short form of electronic publishing, which refers to production of any work formatted to be read on a computer or by a hand-held device. This is an area that was never conceivable before the advent of the internet, particularly the web.

Knowledge Management in Libraries: an introduction
1. Knowledge Management in Libraries: an
introduction
By
Dr. Sophia Kaane
University Librarian
Presentation at the UN/University Librarians workshop
3 September 2009
2. Introduction and
Overview
Knowledge management is a concept that has
emerged explosively in the business community
starting from the 60s and has been discussed
extensively in the literature. The essential part of KM
is, of course, knowledge. To determine what KM is, it
is necessary to distinguish some definitions and
concepts.
Definitions
information and knowledge are often confused
although data and information are not
3. What is Data?
usually stored in structured records in some sort of
technology system
e.g., a database, a spreadsheet, a document
captured in various departments such as finance,
marketing, accounting
in heavy demand in many businesses, especially
health care, banking, education, government
too much data can cause confusion because it is
harder to make sense of huge volumes of
information
a set of discrete, objective facts about events
4. What is Information?
Information is data which makes a difference
is a message which has a both sender and a receiver
the receiver decides if a message is information or "noise"
data becomes information when value is added to it
in commerce and government information is referred to as
competitive or economic information
information is a critical resource
information plays a key role in the functioning of today’s
economy and society
increasing numbers of white collar workers spend their days
identifying, processing and disseminating this information
information industries (entertainment, news) are playing a larger
economic role in society
information haves and have nots
5. What is Knowledge?
Knowledge is a fluid mix of framed experience,
values, contextual information, and expert insight that
provides a framework for evaluating and
incorporating new experiences and information. It
originates and is applied in the minds of the knower.
In organizations, it is often imbedded not only in the
documents or repositories but also in organizational
routines, processes, practices, and norms.
Knowledge is experience, concepts, beliefs, or
information that can be communicated and shared.
6. Characteristics of
Knowledge
Knowledge derives from minds at work
Knowledge develops over time
Knowledge and judgment
Becomes internalized and becomes tacit
information
Knowledge is action-oriented
Knowledge is supported by rules
Knowledge is constantly changing
7. Forms of Knowledge
Tacit Knowledge
tacit knowledge is highly processed information
gained after years of experience
stored in people’s heads
not usually institutionalized
generally lost when the individual is fired, downsized, or retires
Explicit Knowledge
explicit knowledge is tacit knowledge given flesh
it is codified knowledge, documented or archived
Examples include patents, reports, trademarks, business plans,
customer lists, policies and procedures, etc.
8. What is Knowledge
Management?
Definitions of knowledge management largely depend on the context in
which they are used and therefore there may be some flexibility of
interpretation about what it is. Below are some of the definitions that
have emerged:
Knowledge management is the explicit and systematic management of
vital knowledge and its associated processes of creating, gathering,
organizing, diffusion, use and exploitation. It requires turning personal
knowledge into corporate knowledge that can be widely shared
throughout an organization and appropriately applied (Skyrme,1997).
Knowledge Management caters to the critical issues of organizational
adaptation, survival and competence in face of increasingly
discontinuous environmental change.... Essentially, it embodies
organizational processes that seek synergistic combination of data and
information processing capacity of information technologies, and the
creative and innovative capacity of human beings (Malhotra,1998).
9. What is Knowledge
Management?
Knowledge management is the formalization of and
access to experience, knowledge, and expertise that
create new capabilities, enable superior performance,
encourage innovation, and enhance customer value.
(Beckman, 1999)
Knowledge management is getting the right
knowledge to the right people at the right time so they
can make the best decision (Petrash,1996).
Knowledge management is the process of capturing
a company's collective expertise wherever it resides -
in databases, on paper, or in people's heads - and
distributing it to wherever it can produce the biggest
payoff (Hibbard, 1997).
10. What is Knowledge
Management?
An emerging management discipline which involves
locating, organizing, disseminating and using the
knowledge and expertise within the organization to
perform its business activities (Turner, 1999)
Knowledge management means attending to
processes for creating, sustaining, applying, sharing
and renewing knowledge to enhance organizational
performance and create value. (Allee, 1997).
It is important to note that these definitions
say nothing about technology; while KM is
often facilitated by IT, technology by itself is
not KM.
11. What are the Values of KM?
Openness
Knowledge sharing
Confidence
Working and learning together
Basic Principles of KM
Open communication culture that supports networking
Decision making that is based on open interaction
Leadership that empowers individuals
Organizational culture that appreciates all forms of knowledge
12. What are the Goals of
KM?
According to Jussilainen, 2001, these include:
1. To build such a management system that enables
Open communication
Effective information retrieval
Document management and reuse of documents
Networking of experts
Diffusion of best practices
Constant development of the system
2. To develop cooperation forms and decision making
conventions that
are based on dialogue
support empowerment of the individuals
add comprehension of how one’s own work is associated with values,
strategies and goals of the organization
include constant evaluation of the results and methods
13. What are the goals of KM?
3. To create methods and practices that
support interaction and networking with contact groups
enable the recognition of weak signals
help to develop ideas into innovations
4. To develop indicators with which it is possible to follow the
development of knowledge assets and added value.
Developing KM challenges one has to ask:
Why does the organization exist?
What are the basic reasons for its existence?
Does the organizational structure correspond with the goals and tasks
of the organization?
14. How Can Libraries Improve
Their Services Through KM?
Creating an organizational culture of sharing
knowledge
Creating an organizational culture of sharing
expertise
Change their values
Focus on creating and using intellectual
assets (tacit, explicit and potential knowledge)
Restructure their functions
Expand their roles and responsibilities
15. KM Concerns/Challenges for
libraries
Changing Environment
Multiple Formats of Information
Changing user needs (e.g. aimed at
improving learning outcomes)
Organizational structures that call for quality
services
Changing roles of librarians due to changes in
information formats, delivery models and
technologies.
16. Applying KM
Knowledge Creation
Knowledge of the library’s:
operation
users and their needs
collection
facilities
technologies available
