Perspectives on Knowledge Management...is a lucid entry point into a fast-changing and often confusing discourse, one that straddles information science and organizational studies. In this well-edited volume, corporate information officers, professors of information science, librarians, and directors of science and technology programs at various institutes are gathered to explain how studies in knowledge management can address the problems that plague institutions in our information-rich global environment....The wide range of specific cases is welcome. It allows the volume to do a good job of reining in the expansive field of KM....The authors of these studies provide both students in information studies programs and those entering business and management professions with a comprehensive overview that manages to do the difficult job of contextualizing the ephemeral and allusive nature of knowledge in concrete terms.
