Abstract

This paper looks at knowledge, knowledge management, stages of knowledge management, knowledge management tools as well as strategies of efficient knowledge management use.The information age has made knowledge the key to competitiveness. In today’s world, knowledge dominates and has to be effectively managed in order to increase organizational effectiveness. Knowledge management, if properly harnessed, has the potential to be of great benefit to organizations, academic libraries inclusive. This is because it would equip them with the capabilities to not only effectively navigate the increasingly complex knowledge landscape wrought by technological development but also adequately attend to the needs of a more enlightened and tech savvy generation of users.
