書評：邱子恆著《知識管理與知識組織》－－從知識管理領域的知識組織工作評析

Book Review: Tze-heng Chiu's Knowledge Management and Knowledge Organization

知識經濟時代最重要的生產工具是知識。過去學術界重視知識的生產、傳播與利用，現今企業界同樣強調以知識為重心，並認為知識是維繫企業競爭優勢的關鍵因素。因此如何分類、組織、管理、創造與利用知識已成為人人必備的工作素養；知識管理師與知識長的專業工作，也將受到更多關注。本書作者邱子恆博士，畢業於國立臺灣大學圖書資訊所，有數年資訊組織與知識管理的授課經驗，所以，為本書取了個有力的題名—《知識管理與知識組織》，內容涵蓋了二個快速發展中的專業領域；作者從其圖書資訊專業的角度研究知識管理與知識組織，並探討兩者相關課程之規劃研究。

The book consists of two major parts, knowledge management and knowledge organization. These two subjects are fast growing disciplines in the professional field. It also discusses related curriculum research of both areas. The inclusion of these two areas and relations to the US curriculum with intention to connect them to the core LIS education becomes a specialized emphasis of the book. The book expressed well both in prospective and practical viewpoints. The wording of the text is clear under a logical structure, and the content is rich with information of the disciplines and provides good reference to librarians and related professions.For further considerations of revision, this review suggests that it could focus on the major disciplines, with preserved process of generating conclusion, and research methodology to enhance the scholarly value of the work.
