Briefly outline the knowledge management value chain as it might apply to the online catalog system of a public library
What will be an ideal response?
Steps in the knowledge management chain include:
Acquisition: for an online catalog of a library this would be getting the book data into digital format.
Storage: This would involve the systems for storing this data, perhaps a central server.
Dissemination: The library would need to determine how the card catalog information is accessed by the public or by staff.
Application: This would involve the card catalog becoming part of the library's business processes: for example, the card catalog would be linked to a system of borrowing, so that users would know from the card catalog whether a book was out on loan.
Management and organizational activities: This would entail using the system with a card catalog base for other services, perhaps linking up to a wider library system to share resources, information, or book loaning between systems.
