Confirmatory factor analysis and principal component analysis are used to test the applicability of the concept in various country contexts. This paper contributes to the emerging discussion on the contextualization of knowledge-oriented research by examining the universality of KM practices.Ī theorized ten-fold conceptualization of KM practices is tested on a sample of 622 firms from four countries (Finland, Spain, China and Russia). Knowledge is a firm’s most valuable resource, and knowledge management (KM), or the ability to leverage knowledge resources, constitutes the base for the firm’s competitive advantages. Finally, the study provides some suggestions for the development of knowledge management practices in the context of libraries and information centres in Bangladesh. The essence of the study is that knowledge management practice in the libraries of Bangladesh has just been started. About 38% of the respondents never developed knowledge resources for increasing knowledge level and ability among staff and users. Half of the total respondents (50%) were not interested in encouraging staff members in the talent competition in all categories. This study depicts that a good number of the respondents (25%) never tried to promote knowledge exchange and sharing programmes among staff and users. Data were collected through review of existing literature on knowledge management, and a structured questionnaire designed for a total of 16 libraries including five public university libraries, four private university libraries, six special libraries and one information centre. The current building was designed by architects Massimo Castellazzi, Tullio Dell'Anese and Annibale Vitellozzi and opened in January 1975.The main goal of the study is to explore the shortcoming in existing knowledge management practices of some selected academic and special libraries and information centres in Bangladesh in terms of knowledge management activities, human resource management, knowledge innovation-based activities and use of ICT as a tool for knowledge management. One century later the library moved to its present location. In its early years the library remained housed at the original Jesuit premises. With the Unification of Italy and the Capture of Rome in 1870, ending the Catholic Church's Temporal Power, this library was taken over by the new Kingdom of Italy and made into the core of the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma, inaugurated on 14 March 1876 - to which enormous additional material was subsequently added. Īs indicated by its name - "Secret Library" - this material was at the time not accessible to the general public, not even to non-Jesuit Catholic clergy. The predecessor of the present Biblioteca Nazionale was the Jesuit Bibliotheca Secreta, located at the Jesuit Collegio Romano, where members of the Society of Jesus had been accumulating in Papal Rome an enormous bibliographic and documentary wealth since their order's foundation in 1540.
Īs of 1990, the catalog of the library has been online, containing information on all printed documents received to the library since that year as well as important collections obtained over time, all titles of periodical publications, and parts of monographic publications, among other notable archived items. The collection currently includes more than 7,000,000 printed volumes, 2,000 incunabula, 25,000 cinquecentine (16th century books), 8,000 manuscripts, 10,000 drawings, 20,000 maps, and 1,342,154 brochures. The library's mission is to collect and preserve all the publications in Italy and the most important foreign works, especially those related to Italy, and make them available to anyone. In total, 9 national libraries exist, out of 46 state libraries. The Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Roma ( Rome National Central Library), in Rome, is one of two central national libraries of Italy, along with Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale di Firenze in Florence.
