“…The field was relatively inactive until the 1990's, when LIS researchers such as Toms began investigating serendipity (Toms, ; Toms, ), Erdelez used the term ‘information encountering’ to formulate a new framework for serendipity (Erdelez, ; Erdelez, ), and Campanario () conducted a bibliometric study on 400 most cited papers to detect serendipitous discovery. Since, the 1990's, serendipity and information encountering has been investigated in LIS from different prospective such as human‐information behaviour (Erdelez, ), knowledge acquisition (Erdelez, Marinov, Allen, ), information literacy (Erdelez, Basic, & Levitov, ), digital libraries (McCay‐Peet, Quan‐Haase, Kern, ), psychology (Heinström, ), music (Zhang, et al, ), and social media (Panahi, Watson, & Partridge, ). However, the number of studies on serendipity published in LIS literature remains relatively small compared to other fields.…”

Serendipitous discovery has been a research topic for more than one hundred years, but only recently has it been the focus of attention in library and information science (LIS). In 1960, Bernier published the first article on serendipity in a LIS journal. The number of publications gradually grew until 1990s, after which the field experienced a significant interest by the LIS researchers. Currently, LIS researchers are studying serendipity and information encountering from different perspectives, ranging from analyzing various conceptual frameworks to conducting bibliometric studies and investigating factors that trigger and affect the phenomenon. The panel of experts will discuss the issues and challenges of conducting research in this new field of study in LIS.

Nowadays, collaborative knowledge management (CKM) is well accepted as a decisive asset in the field of networked enterprises and supply chains. However, few knowledge management initiatives have been performed successfully because, in most cases, the barriers that hinder the CKM process are unknown and misunderstood. Currently, the research reveals different uni-and bi-dimensional barriers' classifications, however multi-dimensional approaches provide a better view of the complexity in the area of CKM. Therefore, this paper proposes the three-dimensional matrix of collaborative knowledge barriers taking into account: (i) perspectives; (ii) levels and (iii) barriers blocks to provide a reference way to audit the CKM barriers, and thus, in further research, focus on the corrections and adjustments to guarantee the success while implementing a CKM project.

“…The healthcare sector is comprised mostly of tacit knowledge [14], which forms 80% of the overall vital knowledge [3] that is necessary for better performance [20]. Although tacit knowledge amongst healthcare professionals is a crucial source of experiential know-how, numerous operational and technical reasons have rendered it to be unharnessed and unapplied in practice [21].…”

Abstract.With the rising popularity of social media in the past few years, several researches ratiocinate that this type of interactive and collaborative technology could be a beneficial tool for the sharing of tacit knowledge. Nevertheless, very few literatures have tackled the subject of how social media could facilitate tacit knowledge sharing among medical practitioners, and what are its contributions in the area. Thus, the factors that drive individuals to share tacit knowledge need to be investigated further and included in literature. Through a systematic literature review, this study proposes seven enabling conditions which could potentially facilitate the sharing of tacit knowledge. TAM was applied as a novelty in this study in investigating the factors influencing knowledge sharing via social media, whilst taking into account the mediation effects of Attitude in social media usage. This study uncovered an important correlation between virtual settings and the conversion of tacit knowledge, which affects organizational members who are not co-located physically but have a crucial need for sharing information.
