Online Information Review - Call for Papers
Special Issue - Personal Knowledge Management as related to the Internet and online sources of information and knowledge. While the traditional view of KM is primarily concerned with managing organisational knowledge, including the knowledge that individuals possess in their heads, through combinations of technology and management processes, the core focus of PKM is 'personal inquiry' - the quest to find, connect, learn and explore. One question that immediately arises, then, is this: Is there an inherent conflict between organisational KM and PKM?
Therefore we have organized this special issue of Online Information Review to delve both deeply and broadly into the area of PKM as it relates to the Internet and online sources of information, knowledge. To achieve this objective both empirical research and conceptual articles are being sought.Possible topic areas include, but are not limited to:
* The role of technology in PKM *Personal productivity tools * Web 2.0 * Knowledge/ information retrieval * Blogs and wikis * Social and business networking tools * The history of PKM and the Internet * Approaches to PKM – dealing with information overload, quality of online information, etc. *PKM and organisational KM: conflicting or matching objectives; integrating knowledge management systems approaches * PKM and the knowledge society: knowledge workers, social and knowledge networking, e-government * Cultural perspectives of PKM technology and applications * PKM and online education: lifelong learning, training
