Knowlege Management in Academic Libraries: Building the Knowledge Bank at the Ohio State University.

Digital age librarians have made a professional distinction between collection development and collection management and they now are moving one step further to knowledge management. This paper outlines the history of the said changes, defines knowledge management, and provides some examples of how the Ohio State University Libraries has changed in response to this shift. The author further points out the new functions of academic librarians as knowledge management developers, knowledge management integrators, knowledge management educators, and knowledge management researchers.
