“…The primary gap in existing methods to assure the robustness of the taxonomy was in approaches to validation. For grounding this effort, the study team became versed in the conceptual frameworks for tacit vs. explicit knowledge (Semertzaki, 2017;Serrat, 2017), which provided insights and guidance, particularly when viewed through the lens of interorganisational systems. As the team was investigating multi-dimensional schemas of academic disciplinary structures that had evolved over decades or even centuries, and which had multiple actors or "agents of knowledge" (Serrat 2017: 293) at differing levels of authority over those structures, the components of the taxonomy were fundamentally complex.…”

“…The definition of "knowledge management" framing this study has been taken from Townley (2001: 45): "Knowledge management may be defined as the set of processes that create and share knowledge across an organisation to optimise the use of judgement in the attainment of mission and goals". (There is no shortage of definitions of KM, as persuasively argued by Koenig (2016) and Semertzaki (2017). Indeed, the naysayers regarding the term "knowledge management" itself seem to have quieted in recent years as well (Wilson 2002(Wilson , 2005.)…”

A knowledge management research study was integrated into a consulting internship for three students in an MLIS programme, working under the direction of a faculty member. The project scope was to organise knowledge across all academic disciplines, as represented in university structures, in support of the consulting client’s software analytics tools for scholarly journal publishers. The study team’s original research contribution was a four-phase design and validation approach to taxonomy creation, using extant research methods in concert. The students learned to bridge their coursework knowledge into a knowledge management environment in industry and to apply data collection and analysis methods to a novel research project.

“…She further discussed that special librarians need to develop specialized skills, such as benchmarking and assessment of software, capabilities to create databases and the ability to facilitate the dissemination of knowledge. In Semertzaki's (2017) later study, she discussed the SLA core competencies and subsections of these competencies. The study concluded that Librarians working in special libraries information professionals and knowledge managers need to identify new ways and opportunities to use their skills in collaboration with business units in the organization.…”

Purpose The purpose of this study is to identify the core competencies for librarians working in special libraries. It also measures the competencies of librarians working in special libraries of the Punjab Province against the checklist developed by the Special Library Association (SLA) Task Force. The study also identifies the training needs of librarians working in special libraries and the problems they face in acquiring SLA competencies. Design/methodology/approach A peer-reviewed questionnaire based on the list of competencies for special librarians prepared by the SLA Task Force was used to collect quantitative data from a targeted population. An online survey was administered to approach the population working in special libraries of Punjab Province. Collected data was analyzed statistically through SPSS software. Findings A review of literature highlighted the various competencies for librarians working in special libraries (Figure 1). The findings of the study showed that the competencies identified by SLA Task Force are imperative for librarians working in special libraries of Punjab Province. The results showed that librarians working in special libraries of Punjab possessed an intermediate level of competencies identified by the SLA. However, they had a good level of basic professional and interpersonal skills. The study highlights the training needs of librarians working in special libraries to enable them in acquiring relevant competencies. Research limitations/implications The study measures the competencies of librarians in special libraries of the Punjab Province. During the data collection phase, it was observed that there were some libraries where the non-professional/supporting staff was deputed, and due to this, data could not be collected from these libraries. Practical implications This study has practical implications for librarians and information professionals working in special libraries to acquire the relevant competencies identified by the SLA. This study has identified various competencies areas that are essential for librarians working in special libraries. Social implications Librarians working in any special library can use the results of this study as a checklist to improve their competencies level and work efficiently. Originality/value In contrast to other studies conducted on professional competencies of library professionals working in academic libraries, this study particularly identifies and measures the competencies of librarians working in special libraries.

In this continuous changing world where the only constant is change, automation has become the part of intellectual contempory business world. Organizations are using software, hardwares and machines as helping tools that support them to achieve and complete tasks and processes automatically. This research paper reviews literature by following methodology given by Jesson et al. (2011). Doing Your Literature Review: Traditional and Systematic Techniques. Sage, Los Angeles]. Selected research papersthat are related to data, knowledge, types of knowledge, wisdom, intelligence, knowledge pyramid, knowldge management process, and knowledge automation are reviewed. The review of literature finds the linkage between knowledge automation and knowledge management process which ends up developing automated knowledge management model (AKMM).
