Ultimate Result

The ultimate result of the merger of the technologies of information systems, broadcasting, and traditional person-to-person telecommunications -- an integrated system -- is already in view, but not so clear are the regulatory [e.g., copyright, electronic carbon copies and postmarks], financial, and commercial/business junctions which will need eventuate. At academic institutions, and particularly so in academic libraries, the "electronic ["digital"] library" will not only maintain the historic role of electronic storage and retrieval but also include "knowledge management" and information delivery roles that have implications in every area of management, services, instruction and research.

Effective Use

The management of knowledge is a powerful tool for any competitive organization. The essence of the organisation is knowledge. In the area of services and services, KM increases productivity, efficiency and effectiveness. Explicit and implicit in nature is knowledge. This paper deals with both the explosion of knowledge or generation, processes and management of knowledge for effective use by end users. With the introduction of ICT, knowledge has gained momentum, changing its direction and dimensions immediately. Since Library is the heart of any institution, Libraries have moved from depositories and warehouses to information centres through the advent of ICT and digital Library technologies. The main focus of this study is on researching the challenges faced by academic Libraries in the management of knowledge.

Vocal Apparatus

AbstractThe human vocal apparatus is part of a vertically integrated system, and I agree with Licbennan that modern high-speed phonology co-evolved with our capacity for grammar. Olson and I agree that some distinctly human thought skills appear to be fairly recent cultural acquisitions related to the introduction of new symbolic technologies and external (that is, nonbiological) memory storage. Stenning's concern with my use of the term “episodic” can be resolved by distinguishing between episodic storage and retrieval. Baum's suggestions regarding courtship and cognitive evolution seem to apply better to mimetic expression than to language.

Final Conclusion

Development of information technology in the sector of accounting has been think out an integrated system called Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). In Indonesia, this system has been adopted by some commercial banks. This paper discusses the relationship between ERP with the effectiveness of internal controls through the case study on the banking sector. This is done because of the discovery of the problem regarding the number of cases of fraud and bank percing caused by weak internal controls, although some banks have implemented ERP that one of the benefits is to increase the effectiveness of internal control. The purpose of this paper is to provide evidence related to previous studies that comes from the journal of information systems and accounting journals related to ERP implementation and internal controls. Data collection method in this paper is the study of the documentation from the accounting literature and information systems. From the analysis, there are five factors that play a role similar in the success of the implementation of the ERP system and increase the effectiveness of internal controls. The solution to overcome the problem of internal controls in the banking sector which is using the five critical success factors above coupled with the strengthening of the role of the Internal Audit Unit. The final conclusion is that the factor of leadership support, employees, business processes, employee education, corporate management, and strengthening the role of Internal Audit can improve the effectiveness of internal control of a bank that has implemented ERP.

Forms Of Knowledge

PurposeThe evolution of Knowledge-Management (KM)-related literature has highlighted that Knowledge Management Systems (KMSs) have undergone massive changes in collaborative environments. Information-Systems-enabled KM seems to be the necessary response to the recent challenges posed by globalisation and technology dynamics to both large companies (LCs) and small and medium enterprises (SMEs).Design/methodology/approachThis paper provides a systematic review about KMSs to offer an analytical overview of their role in supporting innovative forms of knowledge translation occurring in collaborative relationships. A sample of 129 papers was selected and analysed according to three perspectives: unit of analysis (LCs, SMEs), phases of the KM process (adoption, translation) and topic area (KM Practices, KM Tools, KMSs).FindingsThe findings highlight five literature gaps: (1) the role of KM practices supporting knowledge translation; (2) the impact of the alignment among KM practices, firm's complexity, dimension and culture on KM process; (3) the effect of KM tools on knowledge translation; (4) the variety of KMSs exploited in both LCs and SMEs; and (5) the alignment between organisational structure and information systems in KM context. Accordingly, 13 research questions were formulated.Originality/valueThe proposed research questions define a formal research agenda that could steer further research efforts about the KMS topic for improving the body of knowledge in the KM field. Scientific literature is currently lacking a contribution assessing the role of KMSs in supporting innovative forms of knowledge translation that occur in collaborative relationships.

The Relationship

Purpose This study aims to investigate the relationship between customers’ knowledge management and their loyalty to academic libraries. Design/methodology/approach This study was conducted by the descriptive-survey method. After determining the validity and the reliability of the questionnaire, 400 questionnaires were distributed among the undergraduate students of Ferdowsi University of Mashhad (FUM) by stratified sampling method. Finally, 373 questionnaires were considered as the basis for data analysis. Structural equation method was used for data analysis. Findings In this study, nine hypotheses were examined and tested. The results of the path analysis indicated that factors such as perceived value, knowledge about customer, satisfaction, perceived quality, knowledge for customer and knowledge about customer had the most to least impact on customer loyalty to academic libraries. In addition, this study highlighted the role of perceived value. Data analysis showed the important role of perceived value as an interface between customers’ knowledge management and its direct and indirect relationship with them. Practical implications Based on the findings of this study, it seems that the managers and the librarians of academic libraries need to consider the relationship between customers’ knowledge management and perceived quality, as well as the satisfaction of their customers to use the customer knowledge management capacities for developing their loyalty. Originality/value In this case, an effective step can be taken toward developing the knowledge management of users and ultimately encouraging them to show their loyalty to academic libraries and satisfying their information needs and providing the justification for the survival of these types of libraries.

Research Projects

The last decade of the 20th century saw the emergence of a new discipline within the realm of information systems, which became known as knowledge management (KM). As such, it has become one of the most discussed issues amongst academics and practitioners working in the information systems and human resource management arenas (Prusack, 2001). Amongst academics it has become an area of specialisation with research projects, journals, conferences, books, encyclopaedias, and numerous papers devoted to the topic. Businesses are investing heavily in buying or developing KM supportive systems. However, predominately researchers and practitioners in this area have tended to see (see for example, Alavi & Leidner, 2001; Baskerville, 1998): 1. consider the context in which knowledge management takes place as teams of knowledge workers in communities of practice, whose performance and the performance of their organisation, can be enhanced by knowledge sharing; 2. focus on the process—the creation and application of knowledge management programmes and systems as an organisational resource—neglecting, with some exceptions (Alvesson & Karreman, 2001; Swan & Scarborough, 2001; Schultze, 1999), the wider context in which knowledge management takes place and the fact that resources can be used in ways that can be both creative and destructive, facilitating and manipulative; and 3. stress the role of technology as the enabling agent for KM.
