[KMDG-L] Organizing information: roles, skills and training for the future: ISKO-UK, 14 March 2016

Dear IFLA colleagues

ISKO UK Next Meeting and AGM - Organizing information: roles, skills and training for the future

What part will knowledge organization play in our ability to find and manage information in the future, whether it's on websites, document management systems, collaboration systems, corporate intranets, or even on shared drives? What sort of roles will be needed to cope with the ever increasing amounts of information that we're dealing with, and how do we prepare ourselves for these roles? Do university courses and other institutions reflect the needs of the market in their syllabus, and what other ways are there to improve our skills?  

This will be a slightly different format than usual, as we are expecting to look at the topic from a number of different angles. Speakers from government, enterprise, recruitment and academia will be reflecting on the marketplace and how we as professionals respond to it, but instead of our usual longer papers, we are planning shorter contributions in order to cover a wider spectrum of thoughts and experience  and will also welcome input about your own situations. Come and join in the discussion at 2pm on March 14th 2016 at The British Dental Association, Wimpole Street, London W1G 8YS. Members are urged to attend the ISKO UK AGM at 1pm, immediately before the main session, and non-mem! ber observers are welcome too.
