Abstract: AbstractViews of selected head of LIS programs were sought on six KM competencies considered to be most pertinent to LIS professionals to play an effective KM role. They held the view that existing LIS programs had certain ingredients that could be transformed into KM competencies. However, there was a need to introduce new coursework in order to develop these competencies. Distinction between IM and KM applications was still blurred for many LIS programs and practitioners. LIS programs are keener to develop infrastructures and technologies that are more germane to codified knowledge. Competencies related to knowledge organization are also emphasized.
