[KMDG-L] ISKO UK meeting The Great Debate: "This House believes that the traditional thesaurus has no place in modern information retrieval" 2pm Feb 19 in London, preceded by AGM
Dear Colleagues,
ISKO UK AGM, followed by The Great Debate: "This House believes that the traditional thesaurus has no place in modern information retrieval"
Afternoon of Thursday, 19th February, at the British Dental Association, 64 Wimpole St, London.
Book now at <http://www.iskouk.org/events/debate_Feb_2015.htm>
Once upon a time, the thesaurus was venerated. It marked a breakthrough in the retrieval of very specific needles of information hidden in large haystacks. Some of the veneration rubbed off on to the trained information professionals, who alone mastered the occult art of using it to concoct effective search strategies. All this was in the time before we had a computer on every desk, when a collection of 10,000 articles was considered large, and long before the Google era.
But now, who has the patience to consult a complicated thesaurus? Only a dedicated few. Has the thesaurus passed its sell-by date? And even its use-by date? Join us at the Great Debate, where you'll get a chance to air your own views, and perhaps win over some voters. Can you point to the way ahead - whether it involves effective thesaurus use behind the scenes, or bypasses all vocabulary aids on the route to retrieval success?
Leading the assault on thesauri will be consultants Judi Vernau and Helen Lippell, both of them experienced in user expectations and technology-driven opportunities. Defending the thesaurus fortifications, Vanda Broughton of University College London and Leonard Will of Willpower Information will man the buttresses of faceted construction techniques. As and when the audience threatens to storm the barricades, the job of maintaining order will fall to Martin White, our Chairman for the afternoon.
At 13.00 hrs on the same day ISKO UK will be holding its AGM, at which non-members are welcome as observers, while members are urged to come and help us make the right decisions for 2015.
After the AGM at 13.00 on 19th February, registration for the Debate opens at 13.30 and the main proceedings will start at 14.00 hrs. Please book by 15th February at latest. Full details are on the ISKO UK site at http://www.iskouk.org/events/debate_Feb_2015.htm . The event is free to ISKO members and to full-time students. The fee for non-members is just £40. All fees must be paid in advance - there is no provision for payment on arrival. Please pass this invitation on to any colleagues who may be interested. We hope to see you

[KMDG-L] Call for Papers IFLA KM Open Session Cape Town 2015
The IFLA Knowledge Management (KM) Section is seeking proposals for papers to be presented during the KM Open Session at the IFLA World Library and Information Congress in Cape Town, South Africa 15-21, August 2015 (exact date of the open session to be announced later).
The Lyon Declaration was launched at the IFLA congress in Lyon in August 2014. It recognizes that access to information and the skills to use it effectively are required for sustainable development. The KM Open Session will provide an opportunity to share projects that support the goals of the Lyon declaration and address the ways in which KM is being used to make the future open.
The IFLA KM Section provides an international platform for professional communication and understanding of the significance of KM for libraries. It gives a voice to KM on a global scale and follows the developments in KM, promoting its practical implementation within the global library community.
Papers presenting innovative projects, experience, initiatives or services with a strong collaborative cross-border or international dimension are preferred. Papers should reflect the 2015 IFLA Cape Town conference theme "Dynamic Libraries: Access, Development and Transformation".

Linked data practices and techniques have opened new possibilities in exploiting controlled vocabularies and improving resource discovery. Authority data held in library systems, including classification schemes find new ways of expanding its potential as shared knowledge structures across the linked data environment.
