Knowledge management in LIS literature

I think the enterance of knowledge management to the LIS literature and considering KM as a ground for LIS professionals has been started with Broadbent's paper in 1997. This paper is a reference of almost every paper in this field. The fast growth of KM and LIS literature can be showed with analying LISA (Library and Information Science Abstract) records from 1997 till now. The records which contain "knowledge management" in their title are 38 in 1997 and 592 in 2004.
