Jinfo Community
20th June 2019
[Research Focus: Creating an Information Centre of Excellence]
Description
Knowledge of sources, research skills and organisational abilities are no longer enough to future-proof you and your team.
Jinfo's research identifies six key characteristics intrinsic to Information Centres of Excellence, including being customer-focused and consultative.
Join our Community session to explore all six of these qualities, discuss how to evaluate whether new recruits possess them, and consider ways to develop them within your information team.
Facilitator Rebecca Brizi will explain how these attributes enable your department to gain recognition, maintain visibility and ensure its relevance moving forwards.
She is joined by Brandy King, whose awards include recognition as a Fellow of the Special Libraries Association, who will share her own experience of developing her skills in this area.
This Community session is open to any organisation with a Jinfo Subscription. When your registration is approved, you will receive details to join the teleconference.
