Dear friends, You may perhaps be aware that NCSI has been, amongst other activities, imparting training in information management for several years. The training program has endeavoured to keep pace with the times. Accordingly, new approaches and courses have been regularly reflected in the curriculum. A very valuable feature of the program has been the accommodation of very different and even conflicting perspectives. It was believed that an exposure to different ways of approaching and solving problems would go a long way in developing the trainees' abilities. Though not necessarily mutually exclusive, it was left to the trainees' discretion as to which approach they eventually wanted to follow. The process of revising and updating the course contents continued till the year 2008 when the training program in 'Information and Knowledge Management'(IKM) was closed down. The last batch of the IKM program saw the introduction of a new course titled 'Knowledge Economics'. This was besides the other courses that were being offered then- Digital Libraries, Introduction to Knowledge Management, Content Analysis, Information Economics amongst others. The purpose of this mail is to share with you the outline of the course contents on Knowledge Economics and in the process tap on your collective knowledge and wisdom in course curriculum design. While universities and training institutes in the country stand to benefit immensely through such co-innovation, we are hopeful that other information and knowledge service organizations will also gain in the process. While we at NCSI continue to work at developing new services, we believe this can be accelerated through your joint participation. A number of new potential services are in different stages of conceptualization and design and we welcome you to take part in the discovery process. As with the NCSI hosted discussion fora Lis-Forum and KM-Forum, we hope to continue to play the role of a facilitator. The sharing of the Knowledge Economics course outline is a step in this direction. The Knowledge Economics course content outline is listed at www.ncsi-kms.blogspot.com. You are encouraged to discuss, criticize and offer suggestions in whatever manner you may deem fit and keep improving and adding to the content over time. Thank you. Regards Knowledge Management Services- Planning and Design Group National Centre for Science Information (NCSI) Indian Institute of Science Bangalore 560 012 India
