The concept of the sharing economy, which has shifted the economic paradigm from possession to access to resources, is consistent with the traditional and current roles of public libraries. Thus, this research empirically analyzed the influence relationships between public library use and the sharing economy. Results showed that participation in public library programs serves as a motivational factor for satisfaction with and trust in the sharing economy, while the use of public library facilities and equipment is correlated with attitudes toward and participation in the sharing economy. The use of library collections positively influences sharing intangible resources such as knowledge, information, and personal experience. By contrast, checking out library resources negatively influences the recognition of economic benefits from sharing, which is contrary to claims of library communities. Based on these results, public libraries should aim to have a complementary effect on the sharing economy founded not only on information networks but also human networks grounded in social relationships.

E-learning is a planned effort towards providing interactive and experiential learning having flexibility in terms of time, place, pace, participation and accessibility. Globalization has set the stage for a social transformation of the world economy driven by technological innovation, emphasizing knowledge-based processes. While the tertiary education enrolments in wealthy nations have gone up incrementally, the same cannot be said to be right about developing economies. E-Learning can streamline enrolments to higher education, in developing nations by being a cost-effective and flexible alternative. The objective of this paper is to draw attention to the similarities in the national culture of these two countries and compare students' perception on e-learning in India and Sri Lanka along eight dimensions viz., viability, dependability, flexibility, inclusivity, power, pertinence, challenge and equitability. The results reveal that e-learning is equally popular among students from both countries, and they have a high perception score towards e-learning on each of the measured eight dimensions. Hence results are indicative of an opportunity of tapping the potential of e-learning in reaching out to a broader audience of underprivileged students and onboarding them into the knowledge economy.

A knowledge based forecasting system for special days has been developed for the economic and secure operation of electric power system. If-then production rules has been adopted in this system to be used in various environmental conditions. Graphic user interfaces enables a user to access easily to the system. The simulation based on the historical data have shown that the forecasting result was improved remarkably when compared to the results from the conventional statistical methods. The forecasting results can be used for power system operational planning to improve security and economy of the power system.

Measuring intellectual capital efficiency is one of the greatest challenges for all who are involved in knowledge-based economy, at macro as well as at micro level. The purpose of this study is to calculate and analyze the efficiency of national intellectual capital and value added intellectual coefficient for Korea, US, Japan, and China during the period 2000-2005. Major findings from the analysis can be summarized as follows. The US shows both the highest value creation efficiency of national intellectual capital, 1.480 and the highest value added intellectual coefficient, 6.585. It holds rank one according to GDP per capita, $41,541 in 2005. In Korea, the coefficient of national intellectual capital efficiency is 1.321 while that of value added intellectual capital is 4.733. However, the national intellectual capital efficiency of Japan, 1.271 is in opposition to the created high of vale added, 5.695. Finally, China shows that the coefficient of national intellectual capital efficiency is 1.438 while that of value added intellectual capital is 3.815.

The movement toward knowledge-based economy has been accelerated, which is based on creation, diffusion and utilization of knowledge and information. In this change, Technomarket knowledge information plays a vital role in establishing R&D strategies, deciding on new investments, introducing new technology, finding new market, making up future business plans, etc. In this study, we intend to build a system for techno-market knowledge information, which enables users to analyze and acquire useful data by themselves and provides techno-market knowledge information immediately on technologies and items to experts. In conclusion, through this system we are able to cope actively with the rapid environmental changes and the increasing uncertainties and contribute to a national technology competence.
