The purpose of Methods in Knowledge Utilization, is to present a formalized approach to the acquisition, organization, analysis and utilization of information. The higher education literature discussed approaches now recognized as the non-linear method. This learning focuses on the student as the primary decision-maker with respect to selection of topics to learn and the order in which these are considered. This approach has grown since the advent of more effective means in accessing of information. However, rapid access without a formalized methodology for translating that information into knowledge creates a significant disconnect in the learning process. This text described a formalized approach based on identification, extraction, and analysis of the authors' ideas. Computer technology, data management philosophy, and research reasoning lead to knowledge utilization. The non-linear learning approach when combined with a formalized method can be effective and efficient.
