  • Creating Customized Tools & Resources to Add Value at Your Organization - Event in Portland, Maine!
    Starts: 3:00 pm
    Ends: May 17, 2012 - 5:00 pm
    Location: Portland, ME
    Description: Join us for this afternoon event on May 17th from 3pm-5pm. The three speakers highlighted below will be discussing innovative and creative projects in which they have been involved within their companies. Coffee and refreshments provided!

    The event will be followed by a pay-your-own-way dinner at Flatbread Company

    Location:

    Pierce Atwood LLP
    254 Commercial St.
    Portland, ME

    Speakers:

    Emily Florio, the Manager of Libraries & Library Information Systems at Fish & Richardson will discuss how her department has used various types of technology and resources to support her firm’s strategic initiatives. Emily will show how her department has embraced SharePoint and other software, including APIs, CUIs and widgets to create customized tools. Come learn how you can offer customized access points to content that will drive resource utilization and deliver value to your firm in new and innovative ways.

    Tom Clark, the Knowledge Services Team Lead at the MITRE Corp., will dive into the modern news distribution world and discuss how the MITRE Information Services staff create and deliver 17 newsletters to MITRE staff. He’ll describe the platforms that MITRE uses and why and also talk about the future of news delivery and how social media, devices and apps are changing the way we look at the news.

    Betty Edwards, a Senior Research Analyst at Draper Lab in Cambridge, will discuss two major initiatives that have extended the scope of information services. The first is an innovative e-mail filtering service for hundreds of Google and Google Scholar alerts, which are distributed daily to Lab employees. Through programming and the creation of shell scripts, a new delivery mechanism was designed that bypasses Microsoft Outlook. The second initiative involves the investigation, implementation, roll-out, and marketing of the Lab’s membership in an R&D organization known as IRI – the Industrial Research Institute. It provides the Draper community with insights, solutions, and best practices in innovation management developed through collaborative knowledge creation.

    There is no charge for this event beyond what you eat and drink if you stay for dinner, but we would appreciate it if you could register by end of day on Monday May 14th.
