The role of libraries and librarians in KM

The relationship between KM and LIS, has discussed in the literature from different point of views. Some writers consider the role of LIS professionals in KM process in their organizations. They argue that librarians should act as partner with other units of the organization on a KM team, play a valuable role in the process, and potentially rise in their company's KM hierarchy.(DiMattia & Oder, 1997)
