| Abstract [eng] |
Knowledge management is unique and absolutely individual for each organization. We also observe greater influence of knowledge management on cultural institutions the common feature of which is that they all form, integrate, store, disseminate and give access to information and knowledge and render services to the same or similar groups of users. They are museums, libraries and archives. Knowledge management for these institutions which traditionally are not disposed to change and accept novelties is known but not very familiar sphere. Knowledge management as a separate branch of management is the subject of this project. The aim of the project is on theoretical basis to reveal the role of knowledge management and tendencies in cultural institutions by presenting the analysis of knowledge management in one of the cultural institutions, i.e. the library. The project aims and tasks were carried out by using the methods of theoretical literature analysis, separate information sources and the comparative method. On the grounds of these methods the notion of knowledge management, the influence of knowledge management on a modern organization (knowledge organization, studying organization, knowledge employees, organization culture), the importance of knowledge management and its implementation tendencies in cultural institutions having concretely analyzed knowledge management in one of the cultural institutions, i.e. the library, was revealed. The tendencies of knowledge management in the library were found out in two ways: 1) by specifying the three levels: the macrolevel (influence of changes and their control), the medium level (organization) and the microlevel (knowledge of individuals and organization, studying); 2) by implementing the processes of knowledge management: knowledge determination, acquisition, storage, dissemination and use. It is necessary to implement knowledge management as it guarantees a proper place in the competitive knowledge society notwithstanding the fact that several decades ago cultural institutions and especially libraries had an exceptional monopolistic function of information and knowledge storage and dissemination in the society. |
