What exactly is an Information Professional? Join us for our #infochat this Thursday, December 6 at 11 a.m. EST to talk about it. We’ve got a great panel lined up for you to discuss what an #infopro is and why it matters to you.

Questions

Here’s the draft list of questions (in no particular order). What would you like to discuss? Comment below or email me at bduhon@aiim.org

  1. What is an info pro?
  2. How technical do you need to be to be considered an information professional? Where are the boundaries?
  3. Why are you an information professional?
  4. I like the focus on “information” rather than technology. What do you think?
  5. [your question here]

 

A few AIIM resources regarding Information Professionals

What’s a Tweet Jam
Musicians jam together by riffing off of a common theme; playing off of each other to create something unique and learning from each other as they do. With Twitter, we can do the same, 140 characters at a time. A tweet jam is a fast-paced conversation around a topic. It is simply a time and a place to gather on Twitter around a hashtag topic and learn from each other. Anyone can ask, or answer, a question.

What’s the AIIM Infochat (#infochat)?
Simple really: managing information (well) is, to understate it, somewhat complex. We want to get together regularly (look for a schedule soon), kick around ideas/strategy/tips/suggestions/tools/trends, and emerge a little bit more knowledgeable at the other end of the hour. While we know it’s only 140 characters at a time, we want to generate questions and discussions about how to REALLY make the business processes work

How Do I “Watch?”
It’s easy. Log in to Twitter (or your favorite Twitter front end; I like Hootsuite). Then use the hashtag #infochat to follow the discussion. The best way I’ve found to follow one of these is tweetchat.com. Sign in using your twitter handle, type #infochat into the box at the top of the screen, and tweetchat will follow the discussion – best of all, without you having to remember to put in the hashtag every time you write a new tweet. We used Twubs for the recent AIIM 2012 Conference. If you’re feeling adventuresh, give that a try. [I’m thinking of decamping and moving #infochat operations there. Works nicely.]
