2-hour session at WLIC Singapore, 17-23 August 2013.
The KM Conference Programme
"Open Access (OA) in the context of full lifecycle of Knowledge Management"
is the KM Section’s theme for its 2013 Open Programme during the
conference. Singapore provides a very multicultural context and thus the
perfect place for exchanging and sharing ideas about infinite possibilities
of KM.
We are looking for speakers who can highlight use of KM, from a global and
theoretical perspective but also with a practical aspect. The focus should
be on Open Access movement in the intersection of both KM theory and
practice in the context of KM lifecycle: knowledge creation, organization,
dissemination and preservation. We would like to give special focus to best
practice in the Asia Pacific region.
The sub-themes are:
- The 21st century KM trends and opportunities for OA
- Knowledge creation and knowledge sharing across boundaries of
language, culture and technology
- Innovative use of open technology to support knowledge
sharing, team-based research and e-learning
- Case studies in application of Knowledge Management tools that
support the success of OA in library and other information services settings
- Offering efficient and user-friendly services based on KM and OA
principles
- Advocacy and coordination OA in the full lifecycle of KM
- Achieving KM competencies, and OA awareness beyond the profession
through empowering librarians and other information professionals
- Promoting OA in cooperating with international organizations, and
knowledge founders, knowledge producers and knowledge communicators
