Today, January 1, 2011, we are launching the Future Ready 365 blog. The idea behind the project is captured in the title: a daily blog post throughout the year of 2011 discussing how we are an adaptable, resilient, Future Ready force of information professionals.
The intent is to share knowledge, ideas, and insights within our community concerning how we can prepare ourselves right now for our desired future.
To make Future Ready 365 a success, we need you. Your perspective is unique and valuable, so we need you to weigh in. We’d like to hear from every corner of the SLA community.
How do you contribute? It’s simple.
Send in a blog post—approximately 250 words or 8MB of images—answering one of these questions:
- How are you Future Ready? What are you doing to provide just what your client needs, now and in the future?
- If you are not ready for the future, what is getting in the way? If you feel stuck, and can identify the issue, we’d like to hear about it. It’s probably something that’s tripping up other members as well.
- Do you have an example from your job of how you’ve become Future Ready? Give yourself a shout-out!
As a community of nearly 10,000 information professionals, we have the opportunity to focus our widely varied voice behind the pursuit of a common goal—to show how we’re Future Ready! This opportunity will not pass us by in 2011.
And be sure to stay tuned-in by reading the blog everyday. Your colleagues are offering you intelligent solutions to preparing yourself for the future.
Join in!
Submit your post to futureready365@sla.org. We’ll take care of the rest.
If you’d like to post on a specific day, let us know at least one week in advance of the day you’ve chosen.
Join the “Future Ready Begins Today” subgroup of SLA on LinkedIn for ongoing discussions and ideas. Get your friends involved.
Future Ready Begins Today!
