There are similarities between information management (IM) and knowledge management (KM), but the latter is wider in scope and includes (especially) aspects of process and learning which are not major concerns of information management as generally understood. This article presents theoretical considerations on both similarities and differences between IM and KM, and summarises the points made into a conceptual model of basic KM processes. It is emphasised that KM operates in a quite different way from IM and that management must see 'knowledge' in a much wider sense than that of document storage and retrieval per se. The point is made that a knowledge management perspective on business processes, training and achievement of business objectives is relevant in a different way from IM which has up till now been used in an information service way to refer to repository-based systems. This point is illustrated by using total quality management (TQM) as an example. The examination of TQM-based management tools reveals that the application of these tools is interesting from a KM point of view, having significant consequences especially in terms of knowledge creation, accumulation and sharing (AU) |

Schools of library and information science (LIS) do not appear to embrace KM and teach it as an independent discipline or in combination with information management. In order to demonstrate the significance of the contribution of LIS in KM and other fields, its research and teaching need to show a greater awareness of the parallel work undertaken by academics in other disciplines. LIS schools must also articulate the case that teaching and research about information users, their information seeking and using behaviours, and the impact that information has on them as individuals or organizations is as important as improving the mechanical underpinnings of library systems, and needs to be at least as well supported.

Knowledge and Knowledge Management have emerged as a current 'hot issue' for many organizations. This paper starts by exploring the definition of knowledge and knowledge management. It then considers the partnership for knowledge management, and especially how librarians as knowledge professionals, users, and technology experts can contribute to effective knowledge management. It is concluded that knowledge professionals will have to move from the background to the center of the organizational stage, to jointly hold the reins of knowledge management (AU) |
