Professional reading group meeting
"In the tasks that face modern knowledge workers, paper is most useful out in the open, where it can be shuffled and sorted and annotated and spread out. The mark of the contemporary office is not the file. It's the pile."
You are cordially invited to WA Forum's first professional reading group meeting this year to:
- consider the life cycle of documents and relate this to librarianship, records management, knowledge management, and archives
- learn how to justify the 2 foot high pile of paper on your desk (or how to tolerate it on the desks of your colleagues!)
- discuss the advantages of paper versus the computer as a means of communication
- learn why the paperless office is a myth
- enjoy the intellectual stimulation of discussion with your peers
- and build up your CPD hours (for those of you in the CPD membership category).
When: Tuesday 6 May
5:30-7:00pm
Where: meeting room, Cambridge Library, 99
The Boulevard, Floreat
