Without further ado … Guy gives us the Top Ten Reasons you should come hear what he has to say.
Like Pete said last year, it’s all about YOU and what YOU’LL DO with your future professional life. Guy’s probably going to say some pretty provocative things. But he promises – at the same time – to make you very proud of being a member of SLA.10. Learn how John Cotton Dana was creating what we now think of as “KM/knowledge services” when SLA was born
9. Why is specialized librarianship a distinctive branch of librarianship? Or more provocatively: is specialized librarianship a branch of librarianship?
8. Hear how the President of the United States recognized our professional skills
7. Hear about the three times in our association’s history when we had the chance to make history and we stepped aside
6. Since we’ve been combining ICT management, KM, and strategic learning for 101 years, we’re natural “knowledge thought leaders” for our employers. Are we up to it? Are we brave enough?
5. Find out why other knowledge workers are moving ahead of us – and fast
4. Find out why managing strategic knowledge is our future… and why we can’t go back
3. Learn a clear, straight-forward statement of the mission of specialized librarianship, whatever it’s called and however it’s structured within the organizations that employ us – and how it’s not about membership in any professional association
2. Hear how we can get comfortable with our role in “building the knowledge culture”
1. Learn why – if our professional lives are going to be professionally satisfying – we must “make no small plans”
