Directed at public as well as academic librarians, these 12 papers describe such new models and applications as knowledge sharing in terms of interactive processes between organizational initiatives and individuals' sharing practice, the dual role of team leaders as knowledge processors, virtual and networked organizations in different organizational and national cultures, the movement toward an implicit and collaborate evolution of terminology ontologies, computer-mediated knowledge sharing, useful lessons from the knowledge economy, and the motivations to share knowledge in virtual communities. Applications include scientific knowledge-sharing, knowledge type and knowledge flows, interactive social technologies and the development of social structures over time, information sharing in times of crisis, management of complexity, leading firms as knowledge gatekeepers, knowledge mediators in virtual environments, supporting frameworks and enabling web technologies, sharing and protecting knowledge, and applying linguistic methods to company web pages.
