As knowledge is continuously changing, it is necessary to dedicate and maintain a group of people to continuously update and maintain the knowledge repositories as well as validate the knowledge in the repositories. The system for managing this knowledge is known as Knowledge Management System and the person who manages this knowledge is better known as Knowledge Manager. The paper tries to describe briefly knowledge management ,tools of knowledge management and thereafter illustrates the essential characteristics required in the Knowledge Manager.

Abstract: Digital conversion of Library materials has advanced rapidly in past few years. Digitization is one of the hot topics in librarianship today. To build a “Digital Library” requires that the content of a collection be available electronically. The rhetoric of the information highway has provided the impetus to convert many existing paper-based (or sound and video) collections into new digital media. Digitization of all categories of materials is now possible with the advances in digital technology. The assumption is that digital collections will be more accessible to a broader range of users, presumable through networking technologies, and that there are new efficiencies to be gained in resource-sharing and for preservation. The topic discuss the concept of Digital library, Component, Technology, Functions and Supporting Format of Digital Library. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/1944/1395 Files in this item: 1
