JUDITH J. FIELD ON KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT & SLA ISSUES

We are very honored to have SLA President Judith J. Field as our special guest. Judith is Senior Lecturer of Wayne State University's Library and Information Science program and a management consultant. She has been actively involved in SLA for more than 25 years and recently enrolled in the Legacy Club, which is the Association's exclusive group of long-term supporters. Judith will address the topic of Knowledge Management, update us on SLA issues, and welcome any of our questions. We are also delighted that Miriam A. drake, Past SLA President (1993/94) and Dean of Libraries at the Georgia Institute of Technology, will also be in attendance for this special program.

The State Museum is located in the historic Columbia Mills Building, which opened in 1894 as the world's first totally electric textile mill. The museum features four floors of extensive exhibits in the disciplines of art, science, history, and technology.
