This newly published paper maybe of interest to those involved in KM
initiatives in their organisations:
Gabbay J, le May A, Jefferson H, Webb D, Lovelock R, Powell J,
Lathlean J. A case study of Knowledge Management in multi-agency
consumer-informed "communities of practice": implications for
evidence-based policy development in health and social services.
Health: An Interdisciplinary Journal for the Social Study of Health,
Illness and Medicine 2003;7(3):283-310
It is basically a qualitative evaluation of 2 Communities of Practice,
each of which had a librarian involved in the activities of the group -
makes fascinating reading on how decisions are made!
