Consisting of papers presented at IFLA events in the last three-to-four years, this volume examines the concept of knowledge management from a variety of viewpoints. The book is divided into three sections, and begins with a philosophical, ethical, and political consideration of knowledge management. The second section takes a more practical approach to knowledge management and library science, and the third section presents case studies in workplace, management, government, and educational contexts.
