However, social networks face an issue that knowledge cannot be inherited efficiently, even by using Blogs or E-mails. Thus, this paper proposes a knowledge management system (KMS) for social network services: a case study on campus laboratory, in order to inherit experiences of learning efficiently by using knowledge management.
