By the way, what is knowledge? Knowledge is accumulation of acquired information (ranging from experiences, opinions, views, skills, practices etc). Now talking of sharing together with the knowledge. It simply means transfering of ideas, experiences, skills, practices etc. from one form to another (it could be in a conference, a news, online i.e. through blogs, websites, social media platforms, books etc.) through a medium (e.g. an expert in the field of study, a researcher, a librarian etc). To talk about information sharing, first information is a processed data. These data are to be distributed to the right venues for used. Information sharing is synonymously linked to data sharing. Data, information and knowledge are in the same venues (Data - leads to - Information - and Information acquired leads to - Knowledge and Application of Knowledge plus experience lead to -Wisdom) and what you know can be ascribed to as "wisdom" acquired which can be shared either in form of Knowledge or Information to others. According to Dave hone's (2009) on his twitter wall says "Science is not just about knowledge but also the application of knowledge. You could read every paper ever on tyrannosaurs, and learn a colossal amount about them, but without an understanding of evolutionary theory, how bone strength metrics are calculated, stratigraphy, anatomy, population ecology and animal behaviour you might struggle to put any of it in context". The same applies to the context of information and knowledge sharing. Until you understand a particular phenomenom then you cannot share with anyone. Once you master and have convincing proof about a thing, that is when you can share with others to learn from your experience.
there are fundamental diffenreces between IS and KS in the methodology and technique originated from the nature of information and knowledge. Information is a data, which is relevant to the subject of the communication, is needed or interesting for the receiver party and it changes the actual level of knowledge as well as has a credibility measure. This means you can share information only in case the receiving party can be involved based on its interest and need. E.g. In the last 50 years the in Hungary the state radio station announced the water level of the main rivers in every day at 2 pm. Everone could listen it but the message was intended to abbounce for the crew of the transport ships.For the rest of the audience these lists of water level date were data only, not information. The information shaing is direct every time: the receiver recognized the change in his/her level of knowledge in a given subject.
Knowledge is the capability to act – solve a problem, intervene into a process or create something new. This incorporates formal non-formal and informal learning outcomes, including information, conclusions, experiences, developed skills and conpetences. The knowledge has two types: the formalized and the tacit. For sharing you purpose can express the formatized ('formalizable') part in oral form in e.g. lectures, in written form e.g. in books or at the professional forum like ResearchGate, etc. But, the tacit part cannot be expressed directly, thus you can share it during a learning-by-doing process and, unfortunately, you cannot share your total tacit knowledge, some parts are too personal, the receiver cannot see the things exactly from your perspective.

Glossary of Knowledge Management, available at https://www.researchgate.net/publication/228939158_Glossary_of_Knowledge_Management, defines information as data that have been categorized, analyzed, summarized, and placed in context in a form that has structure and meaning. Knowledge is a combination of data and information, to which is added expert opinion, skills, and experience, resulting in a valuable asset that aids decision making. In organizational terms, knowledge is generally thought of as being know-how, applied information, information with judgment, or the capacity for effective action. Knowledge may be tacit, explicit, individual, and/or collective. It is intrinsically linked to people. And so, one can only conclude that information sharing and knowledge sharing and, crucially, the means by which they may be imparted, are not the same.
