KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE HEALTH SYSTEMS: THE INTERDISCIPLINARY NEXUS OF LIBRARY SCIENCE AND CLINICAL RESEARCH THE INTERDISCIPLINARY NEXUS OF LIBRARY SCIENCE AND CLINICAL RESEARCH Section Articles

Abstract

In the quest for sustainable and resilient health systems, knowledge management (KM) has

emerged as a critical driver of innovation, efficiency, and evidence-based decision-making.

This paper explores the intersection between Library and Information Science (LIS) and

Clinical Research, highlighting how effective information organization, archiving, and

knowledge-sharing can transform healthcare delivery and policy development. Drawing on

interdisciplinary perspectives, the study examines frameworks for integrating digital libraries,

research data repositories, and clinical knowledge networks to support collaboration among

health professionals, researchers, and policymakers. It also discusses the challenges of data

fragmentation, limited access to scholarly evidence, and the need for robust institutional

support for knowledge infrastructure in developing countries. The authors argue that

sustainable health systems depend not only on medical expertise but also on well-structured

information ecosystems that enable continuous learning, innovation, and informed policy

action.
