Are You Involved in Corporate e-Learning?

I need your help! Deanna Marcum, Associate Librarian for Library Services at the Library of Congress, has asked me to speak at the Kanazawa Institute of Technology (KIT) )/CLIR (Council of Library and Information Resources) International Roundtable for Library and Information Science in Japan this June. This is the fifteenth annual roundtable where Japanese, European, and American experts share views on the educational role of the research library in the age of information technology.

 

My topic is to be "the organizational positioning of the corporate library to facilitate e-learning in the organization," and I will be submitting a paper on the topic next month.

 

Are you involved in creating or promoting e-learning in a corporate setting? If so, I would love to hear from you and perhaps include your story as a case study in this paper and presentation at a prestigious international forum.  Please contact SLA’s director of strategic communication, Maura Kennedy (mkennedy@sla.org or +1.703.647.4916) by April 26.
