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
