We learn from an email sent to us that Allan Foster will be leading an evening session to explore issues of the future readiness of corporate libraries and information services.
He will be using the results of his 2011 Business Information Survey, to be published concurrently in late March in Business Information Review, to identify current practice and future priorities for SLA members. In the light of the Survey findings, the audience will be asked to focus on the question ?what will be the key skills required of information professionals in the next five years??
Allan Foster is an information industry consultant and writer, previously Director of Information Services at Keele University and a senior information manager at Manchester Business School, Lancashire Polytechnic, Sheffield Polytechnic and the British Institute of Management.
