Abstract: This paper investigates the perceptions of the heads of 12 LIS schools about KM education. The heads from North America, Europe and Pacific region who consented to participate in this study had either been offering KM courses or had an apparent interest in these programs. Data about perceptions were gathered around the nature of their KM coursework, KM positions their graduates might target, interdisciplinary partnerships, strategic partnerships with industry, and practical difficulties in the (introduction of KM courses. They were asked to pinpoint difficulties in the areas of faculty availability, student enrollment, resource availability, creation of partnerships, working with professional associations, and interactions with industry. There existed a strong interest in offering KM courses, cultivating collaborations with business and computing schools, and developing strategic partnerships with industry. These heads identified those problems that hindered their progress.

    Intitulé: Le Knowledge management dans les programmes de sciences de l’information et des bibliothèques

    Résumé: Cette contribution est consacrée à l’analyse des positions de douze directeurs d’écoles en sciences de l’information et des bibliothèques à l’égard de la formation en knowledge management. Les personnes, venues d’Amérique du Nord, d’Europe et des régions Pacifique, ayant accepté de participer à cette enquête, offraient des formations au knowledge management ou avaient un intérêt apparent pour cette question. Les données recueillies concernent la nature des enseignements en knowledge management, les postes en knowledge management que les étudiants peuvent espérer obtenir, les partenariats interdisciplinaires, les partenariats stratégiques avec l’industrie, et les difficultés pratiques dans la mise en place de ces formations au knowledge management. On a demandé également à ces personnes de pointer les difficultés existant dans les domaines du recrutement des étudiants, de la disponibilité des ressources financières, de la création de partenariats, du travail avec des associations professionnelles, et des interactions avec l’industrie. Il existe ici un fort intérêt à offrir des formations de knowledge management, à entretenir les collaborations avec les écoles de commerce et d’informatique, et à développer des partenariats stratégiques avec l’industrie. Ces directeurs ont également identifié les difficultés ralentissant leurs progrès.
