Book Synopsis Knowledge Management For The Information Professional by : Taverekere Srikantaiah
Download or read book Knowledge Management For The Information Professional written by Taverekere Srikantaiah and published by . This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 598 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge Management for the Information professional unfolded in stages from several concerns and perceptions on the part of the authors and editors. The first concern, the first stage, was the practical requirement of introducing and teaching a course on knowledge management to students already enrolled in graduate programs of library and information science, business schools, information./records management, information technology and similar disciplines who not unnaturally believe that all of their courses were already devoted to various aspects of information and knowledge management. To thee students, an elective course on knowledge management tended to appear as would an elective course titled simply medicine might appear to a medical student in medical school. The topic is clearly relevant, but questions arise such as: What does knowledge management consist of; where does it fit in; and what will I learn that I don't already know or can't elsewhere to pursue a career in knowledge management? The first section of this book, particularly the chapters by the editors, directly addresses these issues. The next stage was the realization i assembling material for the course that while there is a large and rapidly burgeoning literature on knowledge management (see appendix B) there are two significant and overlapping gaps. The first gap is that although there is substantial literature written from the viewpoint of general, and particularly senior management, and from the viewpoint of those who need to be the central actors in the unfolding of his drama---the information professionals. The second gap was the realization that although the literature is already indeed very large, there is no one good textbook or sourcebook on which to base a knowledge management, or in the context of undergraduate business education. The next stage was the attempt to address this gap. The authors concluded that in this rapidly evolving field the attempt to write an up-to-date textbook was a task that would be heroic to say the least, and likely futile. We decided upon a multi--authored book, not a key papers in approach, as the field is changing too rapidly for that, but a collection of simultaneously written components by authors who are active and experienced in the field. This book will be useful, not only as a course book, but also as an updated background on the field of knowledge management for information professionals and managers.

Book Synopsis Records Management and Knowledge Mobilisation by : Stephen Harries
Download or read book Records Management and Knowledge Mobilisation written by Stephen Harries and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-11-09 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that records management can contribute to public sector reform and transformation in the new climate of austerity, without losing its essential characteristics. Over the last 15 years, records management has prospered, tackling problems of electronic information and building a strong case for information governance based on a model of regulation and management control. The public sector environment is now changing rapidly, with more emphasis on efficiency, flexibility and innovation, devolving control, loosening regulation, and cutting budgets. By linking practical ideas about the use and management of knowledge, the author will draw on insights from the study of policy-making and programme delivery to show how managing the relationship between records and knowledge, their creation and use, can not only make an important contribution to public sector innovation in itself, but also reconcile the demands of regulation through a wider concept of the governance of knowledge as well as information. Draws on practical real-world examples Focuses on how records management can respond to the challenges of transformation in this period of public sector retrenchment, as yet little discussed elsewhere Integrates concepts from records and knowledge management in a coherent applied framework, and locates this within the context of policy-making and delivery, to achieve positive benefits
