Taxonomies: What are they and how are they useful?
Online Webinar on Tuesday, March 12, 2013, 5:30 – 6:30pm (Pacific)
presented by Margie Hlava
Why:
Members of the SLA are perfect candidates to build and implement taxonomies. The oceans of data coming at us through the Internet portals need to be harnessed to power our research, development and management of existing knowledge as a foundation for growth and profitability. This webinar is a great introduction to a powerful skill that sets us apart from IT and adds value to our information systems.
