INLS 247: SPECIAL LIBRARIES AND KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT

Assignment #4: Designing a Knowledge Management System

Due: Apr. 19


Background. This will be an individual rather than group assignment. Design a first-generation knowledge management system for your library. You may choose either the library from your group assingments or from Assignment #1.

Presentation. Prepare a proposal explaining what your knowledge management system is to accomplish and how. You should address the following:

Your proposal will probably run 4-6 pages and may include additional material such as charts or screen design sketches. Be creative.
