KM is a process of creating, storing, sharing,
applying and re-using organisational knowledge
to enable an organisation to achieve its goals
and objectives. KM is extending the concept of
"knowledge" beyond existing concepts like
"memory", "storage", and "information". The
term covers such areas as tacit knowledge
(expertise), implicit knowledge, explicit
knowledge and procedural knowledge.

• LILAC is aimed at librarians and
information professionals who teach
information literacy skills, are
interested in digital literacies
and who want to improve the
information seeking and evaluation
skills of all library users whoever they
may be. The conference incorporates
keynote speeches and parallel
sessions covering many different
areas of the field, from school to
academic libraries, from public sector
to national libraries. We encourage
and support networking and sharing
of expertise between all IL
professionals attending.
