Is your information service ‘Future Ready’?
Allan Foster will be leading an evening session to explore issues of the
future readiness of corporate libraries and information services. He will be
using the results of his 2011 Business Information Survey, to be published
concurrently in late March in Business Information Review, to identify
current practice and future priorities for SLA members. In the light of the
Survey findings, the audience will be asked to focus on the question “what
will be the key skills required of information professionals in the next
five years?”
*Allan Foster is an information industry consultant and writer, previously
Director of Information Services at Keele University and a senior
information manager at Manchester Business School, Lancashire Polytechnic,
Sheffield Polytechnic and the British Institute of Management. E-mail:
