We live in a knowledge intensive world. While the web has put worldwide information at our fingertips, finding what you need, when you need it has become a time consuming and sometimes even impossible quest. Large organizations have experts, but it's hard to identify them or connect to them in a timely manner. Websites and intranets contain millions of pages and searches return thousands of hits. How do we get a handle on dealing with everything?

Knowledge management is the art and science of connecting people to peers and experts and people to needed information to make organizations more effective. The session provides a basic introduction to knowledge management as well as covers the following topics:

• Using KM to improve websites and intranets
• Transforming organizational culture to value knowledge sharing
• Starting and nurturing communities of interest and practice
• Looking at DCWEBWOMEN as a knowledge sharing community of practice
• Selecting portals, search, and other km tools
• Maximizing intellectual capital

Join Knowledge Management and Web Consultant, Eileen Buckholtz for a lively introduction to the hot topic of Knowledge Management. Eileen was selected as one of the country's top thirty women in Technology by Women in Technology International (witi.org) in June 2000 and has over twenty-five years of IT experience with government and business. She is also the author of over 50 books.

Please join us and bring your knowledge sharing challenges for discussion.
