Tacit knowledge is very important element in Industrial management.
It is the end result of the staff after education, practice and work experience. The expertise of 'how to do' is achieved by self practice only. This knowledge is not tapped in most organisations. In this connection Librarians/Information professionals can play a vital role in convincing the Management to work on this and take benifit of expertice/knowledge of the staff. Otherwise, the knowledge gained is lost and to achieve the same one has to toil throughout the period of his service.

Yes Mr. Gupta! Motivate employees to use the Knowledge Management system is One of the Important Aspects. LIS Professionals can involve in Community creations and proactively they can be the part of community events and programs with in the organizations. Information Alert services about the communities and meetings events, collect and circulate their topic presentations, collect and circulate recorded events videos, meeting agendas and minutes of the meetings, training events etc, I think subject librarian can be the right professionals for Tacit knowledge management. He can understand the group of knowledge and can identify knowledge resources its generation and integrate right knowledge for the right people. Awareness of the new projects and their group of employees. Keeping track of the process of workflow in the organization. Effectively communicating with the colleagues. Ultimately our objective is to motivate employees for the effective knowledge sharing.
