Day 3 of the ARMA Conference is well under way here in Las Vegas and we have had lots of visitors to the booth for our presentations and just to chat.
What really comes through here is that the people who have come to this conference are here to learn. There is so much happening right now when it comes to managing information that to stay ahead of the game you have got to be open to new ideas and be prepared to learn from your peers. That goes for exhibitors and vendors as well!
And perhaps because this is such a dynamic time for RM, we’ve met and talked to a lot of people who truly have a passion for what they do. Say “taxonomy” or “metadata” to the average soul and you can expect a confused glazing of the eyes. But Denise Bruno, a librarian by trade currently doing RM in the public, is passionate about both topics.
At one of this morning’s educations sessions, Metadata and Taxonomies-Tying the Two Together Denise delivered a lively and informative talk on these two crucial RM topics that was actually…entertaining! How we logically construct and order information so that people can find and use it is at the very heart of what we do, and this seminar was full of clear explanations and best practices on both. We’ll be covering what Denise talked about in an upcoming edition of OnRecord.
Now it is off to lunch, then fitting in a couple more seminars before the booth teardown!
