Abstract

This research complemented a previous study conducted by the same authors who confirmed the feasibility of establishing a Knowledge Management (KM) academic program in order to position this new professional and academic field in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean region. The study was conducted in the context of the curriculum review process of the Graduate School of Information Sciences and Technologies (GSIST) to open up a pathway or track on KM within the Master’s Program in Information Science. The main objective of this study was to learn about the evolution of KM education in higher education institutions, and its relationship with Library and Information Science (LIS) programs and other faculties. The study was exploratory and used a qualitative methodology. It was based on a wide literature review and a comparative analysis of selected academic programs and specializations in KM. The programs that were examined support previous observations that a KM academic program responds in nature and content to the type of department or school that offers it. Universities interested in developing a KM program would need to assess their major competencies and determine which aspects of KM they would like to explore.
