Abstract:
“collection management” to present day “knowledge management”.
Developments in ICTs are mainly responsible to the shift. This paper discusses
how university libraries in developing countries can transform from collection
management to knowledge management practices, focusing on the Sokoine
National Agricultural Library in Tanzania. Challenges for implementing KM
practices in the universities are also discussed. Recommendations are also made
on how libraries including SNAL can implement KM practices, and move beyond
the inherent collection management practices.
