The main topics for presentations were Knowledge Management, Knowledge Society and Innovative thinking for contemporary Librarians.
The Presenters were Marietjie Schutte and Judi Sandrock. Their Presentations focused on the importance and implementation of Knowledge Management in the workplace.
Knowledge Management involves connecting people with people, as well as people with information. (Daikir, 2005:20)
I have also learnt that Knowledge Management helps people to do their jobs and save time through better decision making and problem solving, help people to be abreast and helps institutions to stay ahead of the competition.( Daikir, 2005:20)
Prof. Johannes Cronje presentation was on Innovations and thinking outside the box for South African Libraries, this was the most interesting session, the presenter was full of energy and it was an interactive presentation. We were asked to be creative for example, to create a door mat out of paper, to name five uses of paper clip and to draw an elephant.
The main purpose of the session was to show us how important is team work in the workplace and we must learn to think out of the box, must learn to substitute for example using a paper clip as an ear bud.
The four Learning styles were discussed namely Accommodator, Diverger, Converger and Assimilator.
