[Sigkm-l] New ASIST Panel and REMINDER: deadline today

[Deborah Swain]

Claire,               <Pardon any double postings.>
How exciting to see such a strong, research-based panel. Unless someone on 
the Executive Committee objects, I wholehearedly endorse the panel as 
sponsored by the SIG/KM and thank you for responding to suggestions to form 
one.

I read Mark's comments (thanks, Mark) and think it bodes well for the 
conference.I invite all SIG/KM members to attend to keep this dialogue going 
in Milwaukee .

I believe we have a SIG that is representative of many views --conservative, 
political, academic, scientific, government and business oriented. We are 
also global with many members from the ICKM that began in Singapore. I have 
often wondered why so many organizations and companies worldwide (especially 
in Great Britain) support "knowledge management" while American expectations 
as with AI efforts have been so high that success is such a struggle. In a 
world where a communist country like China can create such a strong market 
economy, I can only say we need Web 2.0 to understand more and more.

Let's all talk in October. <But don't let me stop any dialogues and social 
networking NOW by YOU. I just need to get ASIST Conference things done for a 
while longer and get back to duties on campus and as a consultant.> Thanks 
in advance.

Apologies for last minute response today. I had to teach yesterday. Am 
catching up. Again, thank you, Claire, for doing such a thorough job (I hope 
Joseph, Anna-Karin, and Ron are copied on this. Welcome.)

Final reminder to all. TODAY IS THE DEADLINE. Go to www.asis.org to submit 
anything. Please contact me if you have questions. I have submitted the 
following two panels you have generously agreed to develop and later today 
will help submit the panel on Project Management and our "Speed Meeting" 
idea as a technical session (cosponsored by SIG/MGT and SIG/BWP):

1)PANEL: "Current Issues in the Distribution of Health and Medical 
Information"
A Panel co-sponsored by SIG/KM and SIG/MED:

·	Catherine Arnott Smith, casmith24 at wisc.edu, School of Library and 
Information Studies, University of Wisconsin-Madison: consumer health 
vocabulary (how the words consumers use when describing health information 
needs impacts knowledge management)
·	Tim Patrick, tp5 at uwm.edu and Paula Rhyner, prhyner at uwm.edu, College of 
Health Sciences, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee: the application of KM 
tools for improving information retrieval in a children’s health informatics 
project.
·	Deborah Swain, dswain at nccu.edu, School of Library and Information 
Sciences, NC Central University: the development of an online community and 
social network among public health informatics practitioners in NC.
·	Leonard Davolio, ldavolio at mii.ucla.edu, Department of Information Studies, 
University of California-Los Angeles: the unexpected consequences of reuse 
of medical data as part of social networking.

Moderator:   Ted Morris, tamorris at kent.edu
Proposer:    Deborah E. Swain, swainham at msn.com

2)PANEL: "Traditional and Non-traditional Knowledge Management in Research 
and Practice"

Why do many corporate and government clients refuse to set up collaborative, 
knowledge management tools? Looking at innovation in academia and business, 
this panel will address the use of knowledge management to enable in-depth 
intelligence work, distributed collaboration, social computing, and 
information sharing in organizations. Presenters will discuss new approaches 
to KM applications including live demonstrations of current tools. During 
demos there will be interactive audience participation, in addition to Q&A 
opportunities. The panelists plan to show how taxonomies, indexes, web 
interfaces, and social networking theories are being applied.

Co-sponsored by SIG/KM, SIG/LT, and SIG/CR; also with the support of SCIP 
(Society for Competitive Intelligence Professionals).

·	Tao Jin, tao.jin at mcgill.ca, and Dr. France Bouthillier, 
france.bouthillier at mcgill.ca, competitive intelligence research on how CI 
professionals collaborate using current knowledge technologies
·	Buff Bowen, bbowen at hab-tech.com, the application of an “intelligence 
center” based on taxonomies for collaboration in a corporate environment
·	Skip Boettger, Skipboe at aol.com, how pragmatics and measurements for KM 
elements provides measurable value and other benefits
·	Mark Montgomery, markm at kyield.com, machine interpreter for Web content as 
a necessary step for Web 2.0 if the knowledge workforce is to be more 
functional and automated

Moderator: Dr. Rajesh Pillania, New Dehli, r_pillania at yahoo.com
Proposed by: Dr. Deborah Swain, SIG/KM, swainham at msn.com


NOTE: the Planning Committee is supportive of our "Knowledge Cafe" event.

Thank you ALL again.

>Deborah and KM SIG members,

>Ron Day and I are proposing to have a panel on KM and Social Computing with
>panelists discussing implications of Web 2.0 for information professionals
>and the Web public at large. The topics represented in this technical panel
>seem to fit very well with the Conference theme for ASIST 2007 -- "Joining
>Research and Practice: Social Computing and Information Science." We hope 
>we
>can have the endorsement of the KM SIG for this proposal.

>I've attached the proposal that outlines the different panel presentations.
>And below I have the text of the theme for the fall conference taken from
>the ASIST website
>
>Theme for the fall 2007 conference --- "Web 2.0 and social computing are
>changing the way people use and perceive the Internet as well as the way
>they work and play. When users are no longer simply consumers of
>information, and become active producers and contributors, what are the
>implications for information science? How are social computing and Web 2.0
>trends affecting the work of information professionals? What current
>research and applications are shaping future directions? ASIS&T 2007 aims 
>to
>bring together researchers and practitioners from all aspects of 
>information
>science, industry, academe, and information professions for lively
>discussions and debates about the social aspects of information, about all
>things 2.0 (or looking to the future) or higher."
>
>Please let us know if we can put the KM SIG down as the endorser of the
>panel.

>Thank you, and especially thank you to Deborah for her organizational work.
