Given this apparent realtionship of information and knowledge it is tempting to apply computer-based information management techniques, such as information retriveal and information filtering, to the management of knowledge as well. A closer look, however, reveals that the effectiviness of computer-based tools is already limited in the information management domain. In order to circumvent similiar limitations in the knowledge management domain, we suggest sonsidering humans as scaffolding minds and applying tools in such a way that human cognitive and social capabilites are supported. Examples discussed range from social navigation and collaborative filtering to support for virtual communities of practice
