Design Thinking in KMArno Boersma (bio) At most organizations, managing knowledge is an ongoing challenge. Knowledge management is often not where we want it to be and some would say KM is grasping for its last breath. Design Thinking – a “human-centered” approach used to create new product or services solutions – could be its much-needed lifesaver. It has everything KM needs to survive and even thrive. By applying the fundamental characteristics of Design Thinking – experimental, collaborative, human-centered, and optimistic – to KM initiatives, a powerful combination emerges. The presentation will underline this much-needed combination by way of real life examples. |

Developing New Services in Science LibrariesAlvin Hutchinson (bio) Developing new services is key to the survival of science libraries in the future. Because much of the scientific literature is available directly to scientists online rather than going through the librarian as a broker, it will be additional services provided by librarians that define the library’s utility. Alvin Hutchinson will describe the life cycle of new service development and highlight several new services that are taking place in research libraries today. |

Using Zotero for Managing Citations (and, optionally, your life) Elana Broch (bio) I’ve come to embrace Zotero as a great bibliographic citation manager. It’s free and works on both Macs and PCs. You can sync across machines, save PDFs of full text, and photos. Its write-and-cite capability is very user friendly. “You did that with PowerPoint?!” Making fun and informative videos with simple, everyday tools Allison Long (bio) In this session, I will demonstrate how you can use PowerPoint and other easy-to-use tools to create fun and informative videos for results dissemination, library services promotion, or anything else your heart desires. |
