Please register for the next LMD Professional Development Series program.
SLA President Elect Deb Hunt will present Mining Enterprise Assets: Another Role for Info Pros on Thursday, March 29, at 2 p.m. EDT.
This registration is open. SLA LMD members have priority for registration. Other SLA members will be confirmed during the week before the event, if space is available. We will be recording this session; the recording will be available to all.
Program: Folks with an MLS/MLIS have skills that can be adapted and applied in a way that may not have occurred to them: to empower organizations that are desperate to find their information assets (paper, digital, knowledge) in an information overload reality. This can be a career opportunity for us — in the jobs we have now, in our next jobs, as consultants.
Understand the valuable transferrable skills you have — and that you can sell them. There are opportunities both as entrepreneurs and intrapreneurs in consulting to information intensive organizations, which is just about any organization or business today.
