Upcoming Knowledge Management Courses

Knowledge Management in Research 1 (RESKMAN1)

The focus of this seminar is on knowledge in the emerging electronic environment. As information technology and computers have increasingly entered into the domain once occupied exclusively by print libraries, it has become essential for academic researchers to acquire hands-on skills in the gathering and storing of information. This is a very user-friendly presentation with plenty of opportunity to learn new skills and tricks as well as taking a look at the big picture.
