Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to Analyzing international research on knowledge management in libraries from 1995 to the end of May 2018.
Methodology: The articles were systematically searched(content analysis) in the Scopus database and 54 articles were selected as the final society of this research. Then the goal, communities, methods and tools, findings and suggestions for further research papers were reviewed.
Findings: The aim of most articles is to review the view of librarians about knowledge management (25.92%). Most of the research on knowledge management has been done on librarians (74.17%). Out of the total number of researches, 37 (68/51%) and 9 (16/66%) were used quantitatively and qualitatively. Among the tools used, the closed response questionnaire is ranked 28th (51.85%). The positive relationship between knowledge management and creativity and innovation and the impact of culture and organizational dimensions on knowledge management were the most frequent in the findings section of the articles. Most suggestions are related to the need for syllabuses for librarians and library students in knowledge management, and to conduct international studies to explore the differences in knowledge management in different environments. The results indicate that the components of the study are up to date, variety and breadth.
conclusion: There is less variation in the research community, research methods, and tools. Most researches are based on the librarians' community and by quantitative method and questionnaire. It is suggested that articles be required to submit one or more proposals for further research.
