Searcher Magazine recently published an article entitled "Online Social Networks, Virtual Communities, Enterprises, and Information Professionals — Part 1. Past and Present" by Mike Reid & Christian Gray (July/August 2007).
Rocky Mountain Chapter member Kim Dority is quoted:
For many information professionals, career survival means continually finding new ways to add value to the organization and realizing a more direct impact on strategic goals and the bottom line. As noted by Kim Dority in her recent book, Rethinking Information Work (Libraries Unlimited, 2006), “porting existing skill sets into new opportunities” is critical to a resilient information career. Social networking software offers just that.
Way to go Kim!
This is an excellent article and a must read for information professionals.
