UKOLUG Meeting
Business Information: Resource Management Strategies
Wednesday, 16th April 2003, 09.15 - 16.45
Open Learning Centre, City University, London
Desktop and public access to the Internet is commonplace, with the
result that many users have direct access to a wide range of resources
of variable quality. Directing them to more reliable sources - and
managing this access - presents both a challenge and an opportunity to
the information professional. This workshop provides a step by step
guide to setting up a resource management strategy. It includes
identifying patterns of usage; how to select appropriate resources;
free and fee based services; content, IT and contractual issues; and
managing and marketing resources.
This course is aimed at those who have some experience of electronic
business information and who are involved in selecting and maintaining
access to those resources.
Course Leader: Karen Blakeman, RBA Information.
