14 March 2016 - ISKO-UK AGM and meeting
Organizing information: roles, skills and training for the future
Welcome to the next ISKO-UK meeting which will take place on Monday 14th March in London.
Topic: What part will knowledge organization (KO) play in our ability to find and manage information in the future, whether it’s on websites, document management systems, collaboration systems, editorial 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? What social and technical trends might impact our answers to these questions?
Time: ISKO UK AGM at 1pm; main session at 2pm
Address: The British Dental Association, Wimpole Street, London W1G 8YS. Directions
Members are urged to attend the ISKO UK AGM at 1pm, immediately before the main session, and non-member observers are welcome too. Free to members, only £40 for non-members.
Programme:
* Job seeking and project hunting, Aref Makooi (Independent consultant)
* The teaching of KO in Further and Higher Education – does it do the job? Sylvie Davies (Robert Gordon University)
* Recruiting in KO, Anne Ashdown (TFPL)
* Understanding KO in practice, Vivienne Winterman (CILIP)
* The changing face of information architecture, Mike Atherton (Independent Consultant)
