Mobile phones, tablets, text messaging, etc., everybody's doing it - but how does it affect the Knowledge Organization community? Find out more at ISKO UK’s latest afternoon meeting at City University on Wednesday 5 November.
Generously hosted by the City University, this half-day meeting will focus on ways of organizing information to take advantage of mobile technology.
