Speaker: Helen Nicol, NHS Connecting for Health
With more and more businesses using Web 2.0 technologies for knowledge
sharing and information management, skills that were previously the sole
preserve of the librarian or information manager are becoming a necessity
for staff in a wide variety of roles. This is not a threat to information
professionals, but a chance for them to demonstrate the value of their
knowledge.
Information skills are highly transferable. Helen is convinced that
librarians' skills are paramount to the success of Web 2.0 and will look at
how information professionals can use their skill sets for the benefit of
their organisations.
Helen Nicol is a Capacity and Capability Programme Manager at NHS Connecting
for Health. She has a keen interest in learning and knowledge sharing and
recently achieved a distinction for her M.Ed dissertation in Training &
Development.
