UKeiG
Annual Seminar on
The
UKeiG Annual Seminar brings together a group of experts to share with us some
of their thoughts on key issues for the information professional. This year the
topic focuses on the constantly changing technologies and offers insight on how
to keep professionally aware in this challenging environment.
Non-members
as well as members of UKeiG are welcome.
There
will also be a short AGM for members only at
UKeiG
Annual Seminar
'Riding
the waves or treading water? Confronting the challenges of a volatile
electronic environment'
Seminar
Outline
The
aim of the day will be to highlight and discuss key pressure points on
e-information professionals at a time when rapidly changing technologies are
forcing us to make tough decisions on service prioritisation. Every day we face
new innovations in IT and information retrieval, and it is increasingly
difficult to see the wood for the trees. What resources will have the most
relevance and impact on business processes and stakeholders in your workplace;
which others are hype? A new generation of internet
savvy professionals and information consumers are coming to the workplace with
a very different skills set and interpretation of the digital landscape. How do
we develop our training, support and resource delivery tools to accommodate
this new generation? Similarly, what CPD strategies and directions for personal
development should we consider to ensure that we retain our visibility and
relevance in increasingly complex knowledge organisations?

should attend

seminar is open to non-members as well as UKeiG members. The programme will interest and engage
