Ict Support For Knowledge Management In Primary Healthcare: A Case Study Of Partnership For Reviving Routine Immunization In Northern Nigeria (Prrinn), Gbola Olasina

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Introduction

From observation, very few organizations in Nigeria have Knowledge Management (KM) portfolios and one of such is KPMG that recruits staff regularly to fill knowledge management positions and have primary responsibilities to manage, develop, coordinate, maintain and disseminate KPMG's knowledge management processes and resources amongst several other responsibilities played by personnel employed in the KM section

Public Library Information Resources, Facilities, And Services: User Satisfaction With The Edo State Central Library, Benin-City, Nigeria, Basil Enemute Iwhiwhu, Patience Obotayire Okorodudu

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Introduction

In library and information science research, information can be seen as a consumable product that can only be consumed together with certain information delivery systems and/or services.

Therefore, satisfaction is a function of three main sources— quality of the information product, the information system and the services that make the information product available. These three levels of measure of satisfaction are defined by the information resources, facilities and services in …

Power Information And Communication Network (Powericonet): A Proposal, Rakesh Prasad, Preeti Mahajan

Library Philosophy and Practice (e-journal)

Introduction

"Tamasomam Jyotirgamayah" (O Mother! Lead us from darkness to light) - has always been the essence of Indian spiritual being. Ethereally speaking, it has also been the wish of the modern man to escape from darkness to light- both metaphysically and metaphorically. The means that man has invented to meet this end is nothing else than the electricity. Today, it would be as much naïve to imagine the modern man without electricity as nihilistic to imagine the fish out of water (Razdan, 2003). Electricity is not a matter of life and death. It is a lot more important than …

Lecture Series on E-Science

Geneva Henry, Executive Director of the Center for Digital Scholarship, Rice University.
