Abstract

Abstract Academic libraries worldwide provide knowledge management (KM) services to support university research activities, while some librarians are slowly implementing knowledge management practices. The paper examined librarians’ perception of knowledge management in Nigerian university libraries and discovered that they perceived it positively. It also identified KM practices in Nigerian university libraries, such as brainstorming, knowledge sharing and mentoring. However, these practices were not recognized as KM practices and were not officially documented as such. Furthermore, the paper also revealed that the effects of KM on the professional development of academic librarians were positive. Therefore, the researchers proffer some recommendations to enhance KM practices in Nigerian university libraries.

尼日利亚大学图书馆的知识管理实践(KMP):联系和激励图书馆员的专业发展

世界各地的高校图书馆都提供知识管理服务来支持大学的研究活动，而一些图书馆正在缓慢地实施知识管理实践。本文调查了尼日利亚大学图书馆馆员对知识管理的看法，发现他们对知识管理的看法是积极的。它还确定了尼日利亚大学图书馆的知识管理实践，例如头脑风暴、知识共享和指导。然而，这些实践并没有被认可为知识管理实践，也没有被正式记录下来。此外，本文还发现知识管理对高校图书馆馆员的专业发展有积极的影响。因此，研究人员提出了加强尼日利亚大学图书馆知识管理实践的建议。
