FEBRUARY 2006
These are the events happening at ASLIB in London this month:

9th - Building and Deploying a Corporate Taxonomy - FULL - new course date 
added:

10th - Building and Deploying a Corporate Taxonomy 
(www.aslib.com/training/section4.html)
Whether the focus is on records management, document management or knowledge 
management, a Corporate Taxonomy is key to effective storage and retrieval. 
A Corporate Taxonomy is different from a subject taxonomy in that it is a 
taxonomy of business activities. Corporate Taxonomies are therefore specific 
to an organisation and have to be custom-built. This interactive workshop 
uses a blend of presentation, discussion and practical exercises to explain 
the purposes of a Corporate Taxonomy and to introduce delegates to 
technologies, techniques and tools for building and deploying them.

16th - Indexing: Principles and Practice 
(www.aslib.com/training/section4.html)
Indexing is one of the best known of 'traditional' library/information 
activities. Its importance has not diminished in the digital age. On the 
contrary, indexing is of even more importance in digital environments, so 
that information can be efficiently found from sources such as the Internet, 
or intranets. Indexing is an important part of the broader process of 
metadata creation. Many library/information workers are expected to index 
material, but not everyone is given sufficient training. This course covers 
general principles of indexing, and the indexing process, and also specific 
points of practice

20th - Organising Digital Information and Knowledge 
(www.aslib.com/training/section4.html)
This one-day course covers all modern tools for organising information, 
focusing on taxonomies and thesauri, and gives participants the chance to 
construct an outline organisation of their own. Programme features include: 
- Overview of information organisation - Metadata - Controlled vocabularies 
- Ontologies - Taxonomies - Thesauri - Knowledge organisation on the 
Internet-  Knowledge organisation for knowledge management - Participants' 
own examples

21st - Economics for the Real World: Understanding Economic Data 
(www.aslib.com/training/section1.html)
This course addresses the key economic principles that underpin business and 
government, bypassing the highly abstract and unrealistic components of much 
conventional economics training. It clarifies the issues and interprets the 
jargon in order to make economic theory relevant to business activity. The 
course aims to equip attendees with a practical understanding of the ways in 
which economists try to describe and explain the workings of the economy, 
the significance of the many types of economic data and how changes in them 
should be interpreted.

22nd - Health and Medical Information (www.aslib.com/training/section1.html)
The course emphasises the skills necessary to identify health and medical 
resources of value to participants in their work environment. Practical, 
interactive sessions occupy the major part of the course, allowing 
participants to sample a wide range of health and medical networked 
information resources and to develop flexible navigational skills and search 
strategies. A key theme of the day is to explore means by which the richness 
of the Internet can be harnessed to complement and enhance working 
practices.

23rd - Electronic Serials Management (www.aslib.com/training/section4.html)
This one-day course will give you an introduction to the theory and practice 
of the management of electronic serials and offers the opportunity to gain 
an understanding of the rapidly-changing serials environment as well as an 
insight into the practical day-to-day management issues relating to it.

24th - Project Management (www.aslib.com/training/section2.html)
Projects are a fact of life in library and information environments. Whether 
they are big projects (such as implementing IT systems, setting up a 
website, conducting a customer survey) or on a smaller scale, (such as 
introducing a newsletter) all projects represent a steep learning curve for 
busy managers. The ultimate success of any project depends on vision, 
effective communication skills and good planning. By using tried and tested 
methods and techniques a project can be successfully completed without 
disrupting normal service routines. This course will give you an overview of 
the skills required.

27th - Metadata: Principles and Practice 
(www.aslib.com/training/section4.html)
Metadata is one of the most important, but least understood, aspects of the 
modern information environment. This course demystifies the concept of 
metadata, and shows how and why it is used, in a variety of environments. A 
variety of commonly-used metadata formats will be demonstrated for example 
Dublin Core, and AACR/MARC - and the way in which metadata creation relates 
to the 'traditional' library/information tasks of indexing and cataloguing 
will be outlined. Library/information workers are often called to create 
metadata records; they may also be asked to evaluate, choose or create 
metadata formats for their organisation's information. This course deals 
with both these topics, in principle and in practice.

28th - Abstracting and Summarising (www.aslib.com/training/section4.html)
Information overload affects everyone, and there is an urgent need for 
people who can extract the key facts and opinions from documents rapidly and 
reproduce them accurately. Abstracting and summarising techniques are 
essential for current awareness services, enquiry answering and desk 
research, preparing briefings and writing reports. This course reassures 
participants that abstracting is a learnable skill which we all practise in 
our daily lives, and shows how we can use our ordinary reading and writing 
skills more efficiently to improve our abstracting technique. Directed by 
Tim Buckley Owen, who has more than 20 years' experience in abstracting, 
report writing and journalism, the course includes practical exercises based 
on a range of different document types.
