Academic libraries are also an integral part of the knowledge system, these institutions being one of the forms that contribute to knowledge development. This study aims to find out the challenges and opportunities associated with KM practices in Dhaka University Library (DUL). The specific objectives were to ascertain the understanding of KM concepts among library professionals of DUL, to explore an overview of KM and its role, and to identify the rationale behind not practicing KM properly at DUL.

  • As many Korean libraries has begun to be automated and become a part of the worldwide, open library system, they need a new management. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to explore the library management in automated libraries and to establish a theory of the library management in information society, The automated libraries could be well explained by the systems theory and the environment of the libraries could be well explained by the contingency theory, The following hypothesis were set to direct this research. 1. As the libraries are automated and become a part of one big, worldwide library system, the libraries interact closely with the environment so that the library and the environment become one. 2. As the libraries are automated and become a part of one big, worldwide library system, the librarians need to work in the environment for the library networks, standardization of cataloging, or government information policy making. 3. As the libraries are automated and become a part of one big, worldwide library system, the librarians only manage the library, The various other library staffs take over the traditional library services directly related to books. The data were gathered from the research done previously, Also the date were collected from the American and Japanese libraries. The findings were as follows: The environment of the library integrated all types of the library services such as school library, university library, etc. And it also integrated all the services of the media centers and the press centers, etc. to library services. And the new library services began in the environment. Librarians worked for these new services. In the library, the librarians distingushed the library system from the environment by planning : mission, goal, objectives, policy, procedures and rules. Library organization became temporary such as forming task forces or matrix or free form. The environment controlled the library. Staffs were controlled by plans or computers. And the professional librarians were controlled by their ability to solve problems raised outside the libraries. Library leaders brought in the technology to the library from its environment. The librarians led the formal and informal organizations so that the staffs cooperated well in their work. And librarians tought the library procedures to the partime workers or the temporary staffs. Participative management and management by objectives were the means of motivating staffs. Budget was based on the ever changing environment. The zero based budget method was applied. Therfore, in the information society, the professional librarians become the able managers in the library and global librarians in the environment.

  • This study starts off by stating that the lack of awareness in the importance of reasonable and systematized layout in management facility is essentially working against building a quality public library. And that there is a merit in studying the spatial elements, its density, amount of needed space, and the likes to efficiently deal with present workings of the library which are becoming more dynamic and complicated. This paper seeks to embark on this study and also to provide a foundational data for research on management facility of the public library. The paper bases its research on 10 public libraries which are located in Seoul City and in Gyeonggi province, and are built after the year 2000. The paper focuses on the spatial distribution by section and allotment of management facility space in the library. Consequently, to find solutions or to suggest improvements on problems encountered, the paper introduces Japan's cases (4 recently-built public libraries) as a foreign case study. With foregoing domestic and foreign library case analyses, and the survey results of managerial staffs' demands, the paper seeks to provide basic data about management facility space and its floorplan of the public library. The paper bases its research on pubic libraries' management facilities, and expects to contribute to the efficient building of the public library in the future.
