As David Weinberger points out in his new book, Too Big to Know, organizations today need to recognize the power of difference (fruitful disagreement), public learning (leaving tracks for others to follow & conversations to engage in), filtering information on the way and out (taxonomies and finding places for inclusion while embracing messiness) and opening a window so that the expert really is in the room. Our speakers discuss new opportunities for using our skills in different and exciting ways.

MARKETING SECTION SESSION:You Built It. They Didn’t Come. Now What? Communications for Managing Change, Joleen Schultz Joleen, Schultz & Associates
Think about it. We ask people to modify how they request our services. We launch new web site interfaces. We replace familiar databases with other resources. We introduce new services. We enhance our abilities to add insights to our research. Information and knowledge services are either initiating change themselves, or they are being changed by external forces. And you’re at the epicenter. You’ve embraced the changes but how do you get everyone else on board? Change management communications calls for understanding how people change and how communications can affect change. Join us for lunch as our speakers discuss how communications are developed to modify habits, perceptions and processes related to changes in information services. Key communications components will be outlined and best practices will be shared.

Focus will be on lessons learned by affected libraries and information centers as well as guidelines for effective disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Using social media during and after an incident will also be discussed.
