The developments in the information communication technologies (ICT) have not only enhanced the capacity of information storage and its flow, but also changed the nature of library and information services. In the midst of these changes, knowledge management (KM) has emerged as a significant tool to further influence the practices of library and information science. The purpose of this research paper is to explore the methods used for knowledge management practices in university libraries of Pakistan. It proposes the methodologies of knowledge management among library and information science professionals in university libraries. The research also aims at expanding the effective use of ICT in libraries. The study was conducted by using a semi-structured questionnaire. The population of the study was head librarians, working and supervising all activities of the library at the university. The survey showed that the methods of attending conferences, training, and seminars are very useful. It also helps to gain the knowledge and skills from senior Library and Information Sciences (LIS) professionals. LIS professionals believe that knowledge sharing is very important for project collaboration. In the library, professionals share knowledge about technological development and advancement in the library services.
