Knowledge sharing in organisations : models and mechanism

Abstract

The objectives and functions proposed at Center for Scientific Information and Documentation — Indonesian Institute of Sciences (CSDI-IIS), suggests an organizational form and structure for the organization which is considered here to be a networked concortium of science and technology knowledge and information services in Indonesia. The concept of CSDI-IIS extention agents is considered to provide S&T knowledge services for the public and knowledge sharing among Indonesia's S&T communities whose members depend on having timely, reliable and economical access to problem solving. Usability issues should be considered during the model of S&T knowledge sharing in order to build systems which people with limited technological skills and readily use, we discuss two key forms of knowledge sharing usability, interface usability and the human-computer-interaction has helped model knowledge sharing principles to improve interface usability. We cover the following phases : (I).The paradigm shift is quite obvious with respect to knowledge sharing from an organizational perspective; (2). The communicative paradigm of knowledge sharing is also increasingly relevant as a means of organizing learning processes as collaborative, cooperative, exchange knowledge processes. (3). Knowledge sharing in the communicative paradigm which at least with respect to the topic, self-organizing paradigm will have major consequences for librarians work and the structure and information transfer institutions. In this model, a hightened awareness of user preferences and needs more so than in the user interface model is proposed such as: know the user, competitive analysis, setting goals, parallel design, participatory design, coordinated design, apply guidelines, prototyping S&T "knowledge sharing", empirical testing, collect feed back from the users for the future design.
