If you are like me, trying to get all the information you need to do your job can be a harrowing experience. With so many sources from which to choose, how do you know which ones are right for you to stay current? Well, a little help is on the way in the form of a DAC panel, “Tweet, Blog or News: How Do I Stay Current?”
Presented as a Pavilion Panel Wednesday afternoon on the DAC show floor, this will be more like a roundtable than a true panel, with a moderator, three participants and no slides. The panel’s goal will be to help you understand the various information sources you have available – including traditional ones such as print and online publications along with the newer blogs, portals and social media networks – and what each has to offer.
Each of the three panelists will give a position statement, followed by a group discussion on topics such as how to find your way around the various information sources, what tools are available to use these sources and what is the best way to use them. The panelists will even give some advice on how to start blogging.
There is an overabundance of things to see and do at DAC, but I would put aside the Wednesday, July 29, 4-5PM slot to sit in on this panel. The topic is interesting, timely and, who knows, you might pick up some pointers on how to make your job easier. Check out the panel details at: http://www.dac.com/events/eventdetails.aspx?id=95-106
