Workshop
1A (Lecture Room 1)
Strategic Marketing of Information Services
Mr Michael Leach, President, American Society for Information Science
& Technology
Synopsis: Strategic marketing is more
than just publicity and public relations. It involves the parallel processes
of user needs analysis, long-term strategic planning, and the creation
of targeted resources and services, coupled with publicity, ongoing
public/client/customer relations and evaluation. In addition, strategic
marketing involves new human resource objectives-new duties, new job
descriptions-integrated into the day-to-day workflow in the organization.
Frequently, these days, all of this strategic planning must be undertaken
in an environment of fiscal constraints and limited resources. This
workshop will step the participant through the whole process, from initial
user needs analysis and brainstorming through the final stages of plan
development. Actual strategic marketing plans will be examined as case
studies, and participants will have opportunities to interact with each
other and the instructor in developing their own strategic marketing
plan.

Workshop
1B (Lecture Room 2)
Strategic Planning for School Media Centres
Dr Diljit Singh, Dept. of Information Science, University of Malaya
Synopsis: Strategic planning involves
the development of long-term plans, based on the organization’s
objectives and a consideration of the dynamic environmental conditions.
It forces an organization to look into the future, and thus provides
an opportunity to influence forthcoming events and assume a proactive
position. Strategic planning, when properly implemented, leads to more
efficient and effective long-term performance. School libraries, with
the many changes occurring around them, need to create a process that
will align planning with today’s realities and developments in
educational curricula, teaching practices, and assessment strategies
employed in schools. This workshop is targeted at those responsible
or involved with formulating and implementing plans for school libraries
in Ministries of Education, National Libraries, State Departments, Library
Associations or Schools. The hands-on workshop will take the participants
through the processes of strategic planning. Participants will learn
the steps of organizational readiness; develop a vision and mission
statement; assess the current situation in terms of strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats, with a focus on environmental changes and
directing attention to opportunities; and develop goals, objectives
and strategies. At the end of the workshop, participants will have a
created an outline of a draft strategic planning document.

Workshop
1C (Lecture Room 5, 3rd floor)
Web Archiving
Dr Paul Wu, Division of Information Studies, Nanyang Technological
University
The workshop is organized into two main sections: seminar
and tool demonstration. In the seminar section, the first subsection
is an introduction to the strategic, legal and management issues in
digital preservation and case studies of web archiving projects in national
libraries. In the second subsection, an emerging international standard
(ISO 14721:2003) - Open Archives Information System (OAIS) Reference
Model, will be explained. The standard provides organizations who are
interested in Web Archiving projects a sound technical framework for
reference. In the demonstration section, open-source tools developed
by international digital preservation community, for instance, International
Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC) are introduced. These tools
are among those recommended for web archives projects by National Digital
Information Infrastructure and Preservation Program (NDIIP) in the US.
Some lessons from the recent NTU-NLB joint project on Singapore Web
Archives will be shared as well. After the workshop, the attendees will
be equipped with the concepts and methods of Web archiving. These will
allow them to be able to plan on a Web archives project for their respective
organizations.

Equipping Librarians for the Role of Knowledge
Managers
Mr Lee Chu Keong, Division of Information Studies, Nanyang Technological
University
This workshop will acquaint librarians with the basic
principles of knowledge management. The concept of knowledge will be
discussed, along with the closely related concepts of data, information
and wisdom. One approach to knowledge management is to make the knowledge
market in the organisation more effective and efficient. To do so, librarians
need to understand the players in the knowledge market, and the dynamics,
idiosyncrasies, and pathologies of the knowledge market. Lastly, the
adaptations that are needed to enable librarians to make the transition
to knowledge management will be discussed.

Archives Workshop: Access to Archives
Ms Elaine Goh, National Archives of Singapore
This presentation examines access to archives in two
aspects. The first aspect involves the ability of the user to identify
and locate information through the use of various finding aids. In the
National Archives of Singapore the development of an automated finding
aid, Access to Archives Online (a2o) promotes use of its multi-media
holdings around the clock, across geographical boundaries. This has
changed the concept of an archives not just as a physical abode of a
nation’s documentary heritage but also as a virtual repository.
The presentation will also touch on how NAS disseminates information
on its holdings through its various outreach and publicity programmes
such as exhibitions and publications.
The second aspect of access involves permission to locate information
within acceptable boundaries of privacy, security considerations and
preservation requirements. This means that the archives needs to play
a balancing role in terms of its primary duty of being a custodian and
protector of records and its secondary role of promoting access to its
holdings. The presentation examines some of the ethical challenges an
archivist faced in what is referred to as the “moral defence of
archives”.
