David Stern, Library Director at Saint Xavier University in Chicago, will deliver an introductory-level presentation on key considerations for Personal Knowledge Management (PKM). David will demonstrate processes in multi-media materials capture, organization, and sharing. He will discuss software applications for individual and organizational implementations, with possibilities from simple free software tools that can be used by individuals to catalog research findings to create sophisticated competitive intelligence platforms that require significant organizational resources. His examples will utilize Zotero and Diigo tools, and he will extend these concepts to address some linking across social media tools. He will also mention enterprise considerations such as taxonomies for sharing data using the Microsoft SharePoint Portal Services.

At this meeting you will be introduced to core KM concepts in Personal Knowledge Management including:
  • Rapid capture, organization, and sharing of citations, web resources, text, audio, and video
  • Considerations in the creation of solo PKM catalogs
  • Review desktop applications and web services in Zotero and Diigo, respectively
  • Considerations in enterprise taxonomies and social networks in SharePoint

David Stern is an amazing person. I friend of mine worked with him at the Library department and he told me he has never ever met someone like him before.
