THE ROLE OF INFORMATION SERVICES IN KNOWLEDGE

摘要

Aine O'Connor, Senior Information Officer at the Arup Engineering Library (Arup Consulting Engineers are a CPD Accredited company) outlines the value of information services/libraries to the engineering profession. For today's engineering consultancies, the ability to win and retain clients depends significantly on the company's approach to knowledge management. Those working in the sector are familiar with the demands of engineering projects which frequently involve meeting the client's brief against a tight timeline, often working within financial constraints.
