 By Michelle Manafy
An info pro by any other name
Last week, I attended the Computers in Libraries Conference for the first time. This event is very practitioner-focused and as an industry watcher, well, it simply hadn't risen up high on my priority list given how many events there are in the information industry. Now that I've been, CIL has moved well up that list. First off, the event attracted about 2,000 attendees. More significantly, the level of attendee engagement and interaction at this event − important markers of event quality − was high. Listening to audience questions was almost as interesting as the sessions themselves.
During one session I attended, a panel on EBook Publishing: Practices & Challenges, the moderator asked for a show of hands about job positions: public libraries, university libraries, special or corporate libraries ... and for each, many hands rose. However it was clear that not everyone had responded so the moderator dug deeper, revealing that the packed room contained "the usual suspects" along with a remarkable number of knowledge managers, researchers and information professionals by other names.
 This infusion of information into all sorts of job roles isn't surprising in that information's job is to inform workers of all types. However the increasingly broad range of individuals who have direct responsibility for information management within organisations is a factor to be reckoned with. In fact, we're looking into it: FreePint Research is investigating the roles of information professionals and knowledge workers: We would really value your participation in the survey as we examine the ways in which shrinking information centres are impacting the balance between information professionals and knowledge workers.
While there are many areas of concern for those in organisations who are now expected to perform their own research, analysis and information management, one possible upside we'll be exploring is the opportunity for savvy info pros to take on higher level, more strategic roles.
Certainly, the issue of continuously (re)positioning oneself and (re)affirming one's value has moved high up the priorities list for all information professionals. Interestingly, this was something frequent FUMSI and VIP contributor Scott Brown (of the Social Information Group tackled in his session on Organizational Intelligence & Raising Your Value at the CIL conference. Other members of the FreePint community were on hand, including FUMSI Find editor Marcy Phelps, who signed copies of her new book Research on Main Street.
Given that the theme of CIL was Strategic Focus & Value for Library Communities, it shouldn't surprise me that the sense of community was strong at this event. It was, however, wonderful to see how much this focus on communities supports the valuable objectives that information professionals have within their organisations as well as how it supports their value in the industry as a whole.
Best regards,
Michelle Manafy,

My Favourite Tipples
|
 By Benjamin B. Sargent
I like variety, and yet I don't have a lot of time to spend reading or following. Therefore I find that my favourite sites and news sources shift over time as I find new ones and don't get back to old ones. Although my own work is often seen as being part of the language industry, I tend to follow world events and people in other fields, rather than industry trends and personalities. I try to read broadly, both geographically and topic-wise. Here are several notable sites that have crossed my webtop in recent months.
- Edge Foundation: A collection point for views and interactions among "third culture" intellectuals and the soi-disant digerati, a site any global, technology-oriented futurist should know about. Be sure to check out the About page so you know what you are getting into, namely a "discussion of intellectual, philosophical, artistic, and literary issues" with a serious crowd.
- Globo-social: The personal blog of Rizwan Tayabali, this colorful site tracks his many globe-trotting adventures with social enterprises. He gets involved with communities around the world that are actively building innovation and change at their local level, providing insights and energy, with the aim of fostering "globally connected social movements and support systems."
- Global Misfit: Started as a personal-professional fusion blog by Nathalie Molina, you get a very personal take on life as a global citizen, insights on brand-building and customer service, the multicultural consumer experience, and her own field, which is business globalization.
- The Globalist: The generalist version of globalization - all the day's news through the lens of globalism. I think of this as my "poor man's Economist." I check to see what's happening and end up finding useful analysis.
- Translators Without Borders: Modelled in part on Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres), this pro-bono effort assists other organizations as AIDES and Amnesty International, as well as continuing work with Doctors Without Borders. In 2006, the group supported the work of Mohammad Yunus, founder of the Grameen Bank and winner of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize by helping to subtitle two films on microcredit in 86 languages.
Ben Sargent has worked in the language services industry since 1989, serving in operations, consulting, and marketing roles. He also helped to found and manage several venture-funded high-tech start-ups. Ben's primary research focus areas at Common Sense Advisory are global online customer experience, translation management systems, and authoring and content management technologies. He also consults for Global 1000 brands, international organizations, and technology vendors. Ben has published research and articles on multilingual publishing and been a regular speaker at conferences and seminars in Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Ben earned a degree in Music Theory and Composition in 1983 and is currently working on a steampunk opera.

- Building on the value of library communities
I've just returned from a brief trip to the Computers in Library Conference in Washington, D.C. I have to say that — based on the sessions I was able to attend and the many more that I wanted too — I wish I'd been able to stay longer. This was my first time at CIL and I was amazed at not only the number of attendees (about 2,000 registered), but also at how engaged and interactive they were during sessions as well as with one another during the breaks. It was also nice to see what a range of information professionals the event attracted — from public and academic librarians to corporate and government knowledge managers and those involved in many other aspects of the business of putting information to work.
The theme of this year's CIL conference was "Strategic Focus & Value for Library Communities" — something we all must focus on. While I know that public libraries have served as community centres, I do think that it is easy to lose site of how our physical communities must increasingly blend with virtual ones to remain relevant. Yet I think there is also great opportunity to build upon the value of "libraries" within organizations by re-focusing on serving our corporate communities as well. So often, there is so much outward focus (CRM, marketing, public website development) that organisations fail to sufficiently fuel their internal information networks and meet the needs of staff... which will in turn lead to greater success.

- [FreePint] Collective Intelligence and Embedde...
Charting a clear copyright course
In the information business, copyright has always been of paramount concern. Unfortunately, for content producers and consumers alike, this area of the law has never been easy to navigate. Certainly, it's not news to any of our readers that with new content discoverability, dissemination and delivery mechanisms cropping up all the time, the copyright landscape has become increasingly fraught with peril.
Just ask Google, which took another hit in French courts last week, with a $600,000 judgment against it for allowing content to appear in search results that the owners had asked to be removed. The week also saw the US Supreme Court agree to hear the Golan v. Holder copyright case, which will have widespread implications on how US copyright law can (or should) be reconciled with international treaties. Australia's Internet Industry Association (IIA) also announced plans to draw up a code for the role ISPs play in copyright enforcement.

- [FreePint] Facing SharePoint Fears and Analysing Content
Forming a constructive relationship with SharePoint
To keep your organisation working together and effectively informed, intranet design, management and improvement must be a focus of intelligent investment and our just-published FUMSI Report: Folio on Intranet redesign provides hands-on insights into how to maximise intranet effectiveness.
Interestingly, one of the big names in intranets, SharePoint, increasingly strikes me as being an information professional's best frenemy. If you're unfamiliar with the term (that is, don't spend much time on TMZ or frequently converse with tweens), a frenemy is both friend and enemy. No, I'm not trying to imply that SharePoint will be telling you how cute your outfit is while stealing your beau anytime soon. However, SharePoint is a tool with which info pros have a pretty public love-hate relationship. Common criticisms include difficulty in navigating and locating information, its lack of lightweight (read: "easy to use") collaboration tools and difficulty to implement.

- [FreePint] Focus on strategy and customer needs
Alchemy, Info pros and knowing better
During this eventful first month as Director of Content here at FreePint, I have focused much of my attention on getting to know the team and our readers. It is a testament to the quality of the FreePint editorial staff that in almost every chat, our editors and frequent contributors asked if we could provide them with reader feedback more often. Then, when I was discussing some of the insights I've gained so far through these conversations with FreePint's Publisher William Hann, and Director of Research Robin Neidorf, William expressed a desire for the holy grail of knowledge, asking if we couldn't create a way to capture customer interactions and share them in real time so that everyone could benefit from anyone's ad hoc customer contact.

SharePoint and the South Bank Centre: using analogies to sell a story
 By Nic Price
FUMSI: Share
Changing the technology behind an intranet is a difficult enough task, but doing it while keeping the intranet running is even more challenging. In part two of his article on implementing SharePoint to deliver the BBC's intranet, Gateway, Nic Price describes the gradual approach they took by introducing MySites, blogging and search as the foundation on which to build.
WHAT'S INSIDE: 'We concluded that we would start with the homepage, the search and MySites, alongside a trial of the blogging function. We used MySites for Connect; essentially a skills and expert-finding directory. Via the people search, staff could find other people by skill, expertise or interests. SharePoint does have some useful functionality, but to have attempted to replace the whole of Gateway in one go would have been a disruption and a disaster. In this story one size certainly does not fit all. Our approach allowed us to introduce and integrate SharePoint into our technology infrastructure. It was then available as an option as part of our efforts for continuous improvement.'

Information management lessons from "Austin Powers"
 By Scott Brown
FUMSI: Manage
Using Austin Powers' nemesis Dr Evil as an example when considering information management may, on the face of it, appear to be a bit far-fetched but Scott Brown shows the similarities between Dr Evil and upper management. And, from there, he gives a few lessons on how to deal with your executives and avoid being "incinerated!"
WHAT'S INSIDE: 'Dr Evil is an excellent depiction of upper management - VPs, CEOs, directors and other high level positions that we agonise over in libraries, whether we work in corporate, public or academic settings. As librarians and info pros, we really want to connect with these folks so that they know and understand the value of the services and products we provide. At the same time, they often confound us because we don't know how to build a relationship with them. Dr Evil knows that he needs information. So be creative in how you share your information with your executive. Keep him alert and informed, if he's open to that - or keep his team informed.'

 VIP Magazine: Visualising information - A VIP Editorial
By Helen Clegg
Welcome to the March edition of VIP. There's a wealth of information packed in this month's pages. Reading through the articles, it struck me that there were three broad themes emerging - visualisation, the changing nature of the information landscape and the need for information professionals to help companies and organisations navigate through this fast-changing landscape.
The first of the reviews covers MarketVisual, a product from IntellectSpace which maps business relationships between companies and individuals based on three degrees of separation. What's great about this tool is the way it displays the search results: relationships between entities are depicted visually, using either the classic "star" layout, or path layout. Being able to see relationships between data in this way is extremely helpful. It's usually quicker to absorb information when displayed visually and easier to make sense of the information too. I'm reminded of the map by Charles Joseph Minard showing the losses suffered by Napoleon's army in the Russian campaign of 1812. The map, illustrated in Edward Tufte's book "The Visual Display of Quantitative Information" is a work of art. (I was so impressed with it that I bought the poster!) More importantly, it conveys a depth and breadth of information that would be impossible to replicate in text format. Some commercial online database vendors have already started to play with visualisation techniques - witness the way Factiva uses bar charts to visually depict the number of hits for search terms/companies alongside the classic display of results - and I think visualisation is a trend to watch and that we'll see more visualisation tools in the near future.
MarketVisual draws on a number of sources for its data, ranging from regulatory filings and organisation websites to news sources and executive biographies. Plans to develop the product include an application which will integrate the database with social media site LinkedIn. Given that their LinkedIn profile is probably the one social media application that almost all business executives keep up-to-date, MarketVisual is well-placed to benefit from this ready pool of biographical information that is just waiting to be tapped.
VIP's second review looks at Morningstar Direct, a web-based software application providing research and reporting capabilities on over 350,000 securities. So if you're an information professional in the financial services sector, this in-depth review is definitely worth a read. It summarises nicely all the great features of the product, as well as potential drawbacks. One of these that caught my eye was the fact that the product is a software application that has to be installed on the client's local servers, although the data resides on Morningstar's servers and is accessed via the internet. For some organisations and their IT departments, this might pose a problem that has to be worked around, as our reviewer found out. However the good news is that Morningstar is in the process of developing a 100% web-based version and hopes to roll it out in 2012. This brings me to the second broad theme in this month's VIP - the changing nature of the information landscape. Not only is this visible through the constant stream of new products that are emerging, for example the Morningstar Direct platform, Bloomberg and Kroll's new credit rating tools and Bureau van Dijk's new China Connect tool (see Tap The Wire) but also through the way products are accessed. Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) is becoming much more evident and the way to go.
And finally to the theme of navigators. There's been so much debate about the future role of information professionals within organisations as the once familiar landscape of dot command languages needing professional expertise has shifted to web-based services and end user internet searching. Yet despite all the change, I believe that organisations need information professionals more than ever - if only to help them navigate through the fast-changing landscape, to critically assess new tools and services and assist the organisation in cutting down on maverick information product spend, procuring the best solutions at the best prices.
Read on and enjoy this month's edition of VIP. You won't be disappointed.
