The objective of this chapter is to provide insight on strategic approach for successful implementation of knowledge management in libraries. It caters to library and KM professionals who want to improve their understanding of the vital role and implementation of KM aspects in libraries.

Preface Bhojaraju Gunjal Managing Knowledge and Scholarly Assets in Academic Libraries, 2016
Social networks and knowledge management: An explorative study in library systems Bhojaraju Gunjal, Panorea Gaitanou, Sarah Yasin Knowledge Management 2 0 Organizational Models and Enterprise Strategies, 2011 This chapter gives a brief introduction to Knowledge Management (KM) and its components, emphasizing the role Social Networks (SNs) can play on KM. The authors will delineate the benefits of collaboration between the concept of Social Networking and the process of KM. With the advent of Web 2.0 technologies, it is a natural evolutionary outcome that SNs have driven the advancement of KM, and conversely KM has driven the advancement of SNs. In certain instances, SNs and KM have a symbiotic relationship whereby one cannot exist without the other. Moreover, an impact analysis will be performed to show that while SNs are an outcome of KM, both require each other in order to succeed where Social Software fits. This chapter is particularly intended to cater to the needs of librarians in a corporate environment and to show the impact and benefits of SNs and KM in the information world.

KM Cyberary is a Gateway to Knowledge Resources G. Bhojaraju Encyclopedia of Portal Technologies and Applications, 2007 The literature about portals or gateways exists in huge volume. However, only a limited number of articles have addressed the topic of knowledge portals applying various concepts of arrangement to organizing the information on the portals. Likewise, not many authors have written about knowledge portals. So, this study helps to understand one such knowledge portal and its features, coverage of subjects, and so forth.
