dc.descriptionXVII Standing Conference of Eastern, Central & Southern Africa Library & Information Associations
dc.descriptionIn the last few decades there has been a shift from “collection development” to “collection management” to present day “knowledge management”. Developments in ICTs are mainly responsible to the shift. This paper discusses how university libraries in developing countries can transform from collection management to knowledge management practices, focusing on the Sokoine National Agricultural Library in Tanzania. Challenges for implementing KM practices in the universities are also discussed. Recommendations are also made on how libraries including SNAL can implement KM practices, and move beyond the inherent collection management practices.
