Archival Studies includes both the management (acquisition, appraisal, arrangement, description, and preservation) of historical records in archives, and of active records through records management (inventory, classification, and retention).
Knowledge Management (KM) - aims to identify useful and relevant knowledge in a given organization, to organize, merge and synthesize knowledge, and to transform tacit knowledge into explicit knowledge in order to foster efficiency through reuse of knowledge and/or to facilitate creativity and innovation.
Librarianship - aims to manage (identify, organize, preserve, retrieve and disseminate) information in all formats (digital, print, audio-visual, etc.) and to respond to and support client/library users' needs by mediating and supporting access to information.
