Capacity Building in the Knowledge Environment: A Human Resource Development Approach Satish Kanamadi * , Jaydev Kadli ** and Muttayya Koganuramath ∗ Abstract The ICT has brought in a paradigm shift in the information handling activities during the last few years. Because of the emergence of knowledge as the most crucial asset responsible for the economic and social developments of the present society, the present society has come to be known as knowledge society and the environment that contains the entire gamut of knowledge management processes has come to be known as knowledge environment. The librarianship has evolved and found itself new roles and responsibilities in this knowledge environment. This article discusses the knowledge management process in libraries and outlines the responsibilities that are expected of librarians to function as knowledge managers. The various avenues available for librarians to acquire these skills for their professional development are discussed. Finally, article also mentions how the LIS professionals should move away from thinking about their employment security and start thinking about employability. Keywords: Knowledge Management, Professional Development, ICT Competencies, Staff Training 1. INTRODUCTION Through the ages, the society has passed through several ages. First it was agricultural society where agriculture was the dominant force for development. This was followed by industrial age as there was a sudden spurt in industrialization. Then came the revolution in information technology which made the society to surge forward and was called in as information age. Today we live in a society which is known as knowledge society, because it is being driven by knowledge management processes. The role of libraries in providing widespread and inclusive access to knowledge is widely acknowledged. In today’s context, library has to play two distinct roles-to serve as a local centre of information and knowledge and to be a gateway to national and global knowledge (Pitroda, Sam 2006). 2. KNOWLEDGE ENVIRONMENT As the society moved towards becoming Knowledge society, it also acquired a new terminology to define its presence. Knowledge Environment is nothing but the work environment where the whole gamut of activities like knowledge innovation, knowledge application , human resource management and finally use of ICT for knowledge management takes place. Knowledge environment involves management of knowledge by effectively identifying, acquiring, developing, resolving, using, storing and sharing knowledge, to create an approach to transforming and sharing of tacit and explicit knowledge, and to raise the emergency and innovation capability by utilizing the wisdom of the team. The significance of knowledge environment has increased manifold due to the fact that knowledge has become the driving force for economic and social ∗ Tata Institute of Social Sciences (Deemed University), Sion-Trombay Road, Deonar, MUMBAI- 400088, kanamadi@gmail.com, koganuramath@rediffmail.com ** Lala Lajpat Rai College of Commerce and Economics, Mahalaxmi, MUMBAI – 400 034 Email: jhkadli@gmail.com
development (Balyan, R.K. 2007). This has provided boost for the importance of library. It has also raised an important question like how to manage knowledge in the libraries in the near future. Knowledge management in libraries should be focused on effective research and development of knowledge, creation of knowledge bases, exchange and sharing of knowledge between library staffs (including its users), training of library staff, speeding up explicit processing of the implicit knowledge and realizing of its sharing. 3. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT IN LIBRARIES For many of us in the academic world, knowledge management is an old concept, a function historically performed by librarians. However, in the digital information age this term has taken on new meanings. Knowledge management is the process of transforming information and intellectual assets into enduring value. It connects people with the knowledge that they need to take action, when they need it. The key to knowledge management is capturing the knowledge of process - how organisations get their work done - and how various elements of information connect to this.(Hawkins, Brian 2000) The literature defines two different types of information necessary to accomplish this: explicit and tacit. Explicit information is packaged, easily codified, transferable, and communicable. Tacit knowledge, on the other hand, is personal, context-specific, difficult to formalize, and difficult to communicate and transfer. The core process of Knowledge Management in libraries includes the following: i) Knowledge Creation: Measures and instruments that promote the creation of knowledge in libraries are acquisition of external knowledge, setting up of interdisciplinary project teams for specific tasks and their findings, etc.(Mertins, Kai et al, 2001) In this step, management plans are formulated to coordinate all knowledge management related activities. Secondly, it requires establishment of special leading groups of knowledge flow for accomplishing all tasks relating to knowledge management activities. Electronic resources committees are established composed of various types of specialists to take charge of evaluating, procuring and creating the electronic resources on the one hand, and coordinating activities of business departments and spurring them on to close cooperation in such fields as procurement and organization of the electronic information resources as well as providing services on the other hand. ii) Knowledge Storing: The stored knowledge in manuals, databases, case studies and even processes and rules of thumb makes up of for an important aspect of Knowledge management. By capturing and storing the skills and knowledge of an employee, the deterrence to the processes when he leaves the organization can be minimized because these processes can be carried on by any other person. 2
