In the past data was processed according to the type of information contained. Today knowledge management is based on information content. Libraries should manage knowledge via the analysis of knowledge contained within texts and establish the relationship between the two, thereby creating new applicable knowledge. Information, personnel and readers comprise the center of any library. In this Internet Era, library services must evolve further by focusing on the creators, managers and users of knowledge, in other words, the producers of library information, processors of knowledge services, and market-let consumers. This form of knowledge dissemination is people-oriented. The problems faced by developing information systems for the humanities reflect the times and are ever changing. Library personnel should gear future systems to better serve authors and guide readers. By enabling author participation and reader interaction, systems will breathe new life into the humanities.
