Conference Focus
This one-day Satellite Conference will focus
on organizational knowledge in all varieties of libraries and information
centers with particular attention to best practices and activities for optimal

library and information settings.
Some examples of possible topics:

- Building leadership from within
- Capturing the organizational knowledge and making it available for reuse
- Developing successful mentoring and job-shadowing programs
- Developing better workflows

- Supporting and funding staff/student innovation
Librarians, information specialists and
professionals, knowledge managers, researchers, and others interested in
knowledge management are invited to submit paper proposals on topics pertaining
to KM and the central theme of the conference.
The KM Section welcomes case studies and
theoretical papers from different contexts (e.g., different types of libraries,
information organizations, cultural institutions, and public and private sector
