Knowledge Management Workshop.

Cathy Blackman related how there was confusion this fall about the workshop location, and the group decided that the Best Western in Tulsa wouldn’t work. We decided to contact NSU at Broken Arrow as our first choice location. Second choice will be OSU-Tulsa, and TCC-West as a 3rd choice location. We also altered the workshop flyer using a laptop and rewrote the workshop planning form. The flyer will be sent to OLA, SLA, GOAL, OSHLA, Okla.-ACRL, OCALD, and the Public Library Directors’ listservs. Melissa offered to finish up the flyer. The group then planned a budget, with estimates for lunch, speaker’s gift, printing, postage, and refreshments. The planned workshop agenda is:

9:30-10:00 – Registration
10:00-10:45 – Introduction to Knowledge Management
10:45-11:00 – Break
11:00-12:00 – Case studies & Group discussion
12:00-1:00 – Lunch
1:00-1:45 – Applications of Knowledge Management to Libraries
1:45-2:00 – Break
2:00-2:45 – Case studies & group discussion
2:45-3:00 – Break
3:00-4:00 – Conclusion & Evaluations

Kay Boies suggested that it is useful to send the list of registrants to all of the participants so that they can share rides or possibly room together.

Poster sessions.

The poster sessions will be conducted in a single case study room with five classroom tables. The room will remain open except at night. The session will be held at 1:15-2:15 on Thursday. Presenters can bring their posters in the morning, set them up, and leave them all day.

Paper sessions.

The group decided there were too many paper proposals for the 2 sessions on the conference schedule, so a committee was formed to review and pick 5 papers to be presented. The review committee will include Melissa, Cokie, and Christina.

Buried Treasures.

The sessions are all arranged. David volunteered to moderate the sessions again this year.

Federated Searching.

Cathy will ask Evlyn to moderate the session on federated searching techniques.

Next meeting.

The next meeting will be on Wednesday, Jan.11th at 1:00. It will be a videoconference. Christina will contact Tom at Rose State to set up for TU. We will also put the address on the web page.
