The New Knowledge Services: Next Steps for Career Professionals
Specialist Librarians as Knowledge Strategists, by Guy St. Clair. Presented at the Special Libraries Association Annual Conference, Chicago IL USA July 16, 2012 in a “Spotlight Session” sponsored by SLA’s Information Technology and Knowledge Management Divisions
"Your job exists and you are in that job because you are employed by your parent organization to see that the knowledge development and knowledge sharing function – the very foundation of KM, knowledge services, and knowledge strategy – is performed in your company as well as it can be performed. As the specialist librarian – or whatever job title has been assigned to the work you do – it is your responsibility to ensure that knowledge development and knowledge sharing – that exalted function to which we attach the acronym “KD/KS” – is supported and performed to the highest standards of service delivery you can provide."
