Professional Development: Skills and Competencies for the Knowledge Director

Knowledge professionals with management and service delivery responsibility for KM/knowledge services should sign up now for KMKS 12: The Knowledge Director: Competencies and Skills, beginning October 13. If you aspire to be recognized for your management of a knowledge services business unit (whether it is a specialized library, information center, or any other parallel function with a knowledge services focus), you should focus on the required skills and competencies. This course enables you to do just that.

Open to both SLA members and non-members, full information and registration information are available here.

There are five course meetings, all online: three Monday lectures (October 13, 19, and 26) and a live discussion among participants on Wednesday, October 21.Guy St. Clair, working with Dale Stanley, is the instructor for the course, and you can hear Dale and Guy talk about the course here.

For the October 21st meeting, Cynthia V. Hill, SLA Past President (and currently pictured on the cover of the current Information Outlook) will be the Guest Participant for the course.

A final meeting, the course wrap-up and thematic discussion, will be held on Thursday, October 29.

All programs begin at 3:00 PM ET, and recordings of all meetings are available for re-play immediately following each meeting (an added bonus for international participants located in different time zones).

Come join us. And remember that membership in SLA is not required for taking this course, so feel free to share this message with others interested in learning more about management and service delivery from the knowledge director’s perspective. All knowledge workers are welcome.
