Abstract

Knowledge management is the process of capturing, developing, sharing, and effectively using organizational knowledge. As a business concept, it has been traditionally applied to revenue-producing organizations with the aim of increasing profits and gaining competitive advantages. However, in fact, it can also be applied to non-profit organizations such as libraries. In the knowledge economy era, the traditional management mode of library can no longer satisfy readers’ need and management requirement. A review of related literature in recent years is carried out for demonstrating the need to apply knowledge management to library management, including connotations, targets, contents, patterns and technologies. The article considers that the study of library knowledge management in China have achieved certain results, but still at their early stages. It points out the shortages of the research and presents relevant expectations to show the way in the future of library knowledge management in China.
