Perception and Attitude of LIS Professionals toward KM: Survey of CLNs

Knowledge management (KM) is essentially a process of creating, storing, sharing, applying, and re-using organization knowledge that enable an organization to achieve its goals and objectives in term of resources, documents and people skills (IFLA, 2015). Knowledge management can be closely linked with activities that overlapped with library practices. Lack of credence on how this two concept interwoven makes library and information science professionals to held distinct understanding of the concept knowledge management, most especially on how it relate to librarianship and information management, and at that, that there is no unity of consensus on which knowledge management definition should be considered universally acceptable. But in spite of variance in perceptions, Library and information science professionals still have positive attitude toward knowledge management integration and assimilation into librarianship.
