dc.description.abstractThe paper discusses the Roles of Public Libraries towards Enhancing Effective Knowledge Management in Kaduna state, Nigeria. Development of Public Libraries in Nigeria started aggressively from its birth, and that effort gained the support of foreign agencies and organisations that provided grants at different periods, but the major impact was spearheaded by the regional leaders. Kaduna State is the successor to the old Northern Region of Nigeria. Knowledge Management (KM) is a crucial concept which aims, in any organization, at explaining and clearing how to transform both personal and organizational information into individual and collective knowledge and skills. Four main types of knowledge were highlighted and sequenced. The paper looked at some basic managerial functions and skills for enhancing Knowledge Management, such as interpersonal skills, information skills, and decision-making skills. It also highlighted the roles required or can be played by Public Libraries to improve effective Knowledge Management. Public Libraries need to upgrade their skills needed for technological advancement, scribd delivery, Web 2.0, social media, and electronic library automation. Some challenges were identified such as: Power failure, internet problems, lack of qualified staff and funding, etc. The paper concluded that Public Libraries in Kaduna State should ensure the optimal use of technology to enhance effective Knowledge Management. Therefore, way forward include among others, that Public Libraries in Kaduna State should provide support to supplement electricity in the event of a power outage such as provision of high-powered solar systems and generators that provide stable power. Specialized ICT personnel should be recruited to assist Kaduna State Public Libraries in enhancing effective knowledge management and proper funding should be provided to Public Libraries in Kaduna State for enhanced Knowledge Management.en_US
