Counting Down to the September 19, 2007 NN/LM SE/A Sixth Lunch and Learn: Introduction of Knowledge Management
by Toni Yancey, outreach coordinator
On September 19, 2007, SE/A will be hosting its sixth hospital librarians’ webconference. These one-hour “lunch and learn” presentations allow attendees an opportunity to learn about new and important issues in hospital librarianship. To make them relevant, hospital librarians from the region can recommend topics to be covered and Toni Yancey, your exhibit coordinator extraordinaire, will find the appropriate speaker.
Previous speakers have included Dan Doody from Doody Enterprises on collection development, Tina Joy from the American Nurse Association on magnet recognition, and most recently, Dan Wilson, chair of the SE/A Emergency Preparedness Task Force, on emergency preparedness.
Our speaker for September 19 is Dr. Timothy Cain from the Center for Knowledge Management at the Ohio State University (OSU). He will be discussing knowledge management in general and how it is conceived at OSU. Dr. Cain co-wrote an article for the November 2005 issue of Academic Medicine on managing knowledge and technology. We will also hear from Katherine Stemmer Frumento, MLA representative to the Joint Commission, on the proposed changes to the knowledge/information management standards.
If you are an SE/A hospital librarian please plan to join us on September 19, 2007 at 12 noon Eastern Time. Point your browser to https://webmeeting.nih.gov/knowledge/. Remember to log in as a guest but enter your first and last name.
