Panel Discussion featuring our own Chapter Members:
- Greg Lambert, King & Spalding, LLP - This law firm has developed a method for compiling articles and alerts published by their competitors. By taking that information, adding internal taxonomies, and pinpointing the distribution to those that benefit most, they have a better understanding of what their competitors are doing, and what can be done to advance the firm's position in the marketDavid Bigwood, Lunar & Planetary Institute - Based on the desire to provide on-going marketing to users, the Institute's library has generated a Homegrown Outreach plan that requires little support. Using simple free or low-cost tools, a weekly news page, RSS feed and podcast has been created.Sandy Miller, Southern Methodist University - SMU's Business Information Center has incorporated educational technology initiatives into the library. A primary benefit is that students may now start and complete their entire academic assignments within the library, from the first reference question to a polished presentation or podcast as the finished product.Marcia Schemper-Carlock, Verizon - Due to the increase in market research content and the decline of available staff time for processing content, this research team has implemented Northern Light's integrated search portal. The implementation provides end-users faster access to new content and greatly reduces the manual cataloging process.
