Program description:
KM (Knowledge Management) is more than a buzzword. It is a different way of approaching our work and our roles. Most of our work is not traditional “library work” these days. Many of us maintain databases, index publications and create web-based learning modules, for example. Contributed papers will showcase different KM projects that our members are undertaking.
