Knowledge management with the role of library and library professionals in 21st century

Abstract

Any educational institute is not complete without a library. Any educational institute's development or progress is directly related to knowledge management through libraries. Knowledge management is an important component of the library's work, enabling it to apply, implement and utilize its ideas for the improvement of its parent organization. A broad term such as Knowledge Management (KM) may be used to describe many things. Every second, knowledge is created, updated, stored, processed, and applied in different places around the world. Management of this never-ending knowledge creation is therefore a great challenge. It is true that librarians in every country are managing this knowledge for present and future use at any given time or place. Focus is mainly on library's role in knowledge management in this paper.
