Knowledge is a human resource which has the ability to
consolidate the valuable results of human thinking and
civilization through different times. It is the totality of
understanding of nature and its features for improved
quality of life of human society. Because of this, knowledge
has been increasing in volume, dimension and directions. The
term ‘information’ and 'knowledge' are often used as if they
are interchangeable. Information is ‘potential knowledge‘
which is converted into knowledge by the integration of
memory of human beings. In modern times there is a confusion
on knowledge usage. Therefore an understanding of the
concept ‘knowledge’ is needed for formulation of strategies
in information science
