Using blogs for knowledge management in libraries

Using blogs for knowledge management in libraries

This paper describes the concept of knowledge management and its twofold mission in libraries. It introduces the definition and types of blogs and analyzes their technical and cultural characteristics; it also makes a comparison between blogs and other social media such as email, websites, listservs, and wiki in order to demonstrate the efficiency of blogs as knowledge management tools for libraries. In addition, it examines and explores the applications of blogs in libraries in the areas of internal communication, public services, and public relations.
