Shanhong, T. (2000). Knowledge management in libraries in the 21 st century. 66 th IFLA Council and General Conference Proceedings, Jerusalem. Retrieved April 16, 2004, from International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions Web site: http://www.ifla.org/IV/ifla66/papers/057-110e.htm
This conference proceedings paper states that “knowledge management requires linkages of information with information, information with activities and information with man…” As disseminators and stores of information, libraries will play an important role in these interrelationships, as the new concept of knowledge economy becomes further established. An appealing feature of this paper is the use of summarised statements as subheadings, which guide the reader to key ideas. The paper reflects the opinions and experiences of the author, who is a representative of a library in China . The information is therefore interesting to the student or library professional, and the author's background lends credibility to the ideas presented.
