Still worry about being relevant?

Recently there was a discussion on what would be one of the prerequisite of KM disciplines. Dave Snowden opined that ‘the role of the human agent inLibraries is as, if not more important than all the emphasis on taxonomies and search engines.  There is a body of work and practice in Library science that should be shared and used within the KM profession’. He went on further to suggest that library school to offer short courses to fill this gap for KM. I am glad that Dave has that view as I, through my career evolution, is convince of this. As suggested I am exploring Dervin’s Sense Making, Anthropology and Cognitive Sciences now.
