Law librarians frequently complain that attorneys are terrible at knowledge management because they're just not willing to share. That may be true, but I'm not so sure librarians are much better. We have to ask ourselves if WE are good at collecting and sharing our knowledge with other librarians and library staff.
What kind of things am I talking about? Knowledgebases, bookmark managers and email are all things that need to be managed and shared if we want to leverage the work we do. For more information, see my article in Law Librarians in the New Millennium, entitled "Putting Your Knowledge Where Your Mouse Is", in the March/April issue, p. 3.
