Canadian Municipal Collection: A digitization project
Sam-Chin Li
The Canadian Municipal Collection (cities and towns) contains local documents which can be the best source of information on urban studies. However, with the large number of municipalities across Canada, different levels of municipal government and the lack of centralized publication and distribution of the documents, there is no easy way to access historical documents from different municipalities on a provincial or national basis. Sam-chin Li will talk about the different phrases of this digitization project, types of documents covered and discovery tools for this collection.

Communicating Value Through Strategic Alignment
Melanie Browne
Establishing a strong link between our customer/client value requirements and the major value-producing activities of the organization that we work for is the foundation on which the delivery of superior customer value is based. Information professionals develop opportunities in their organizations by creating demand. They learn to link their products and services with the solution to their customer’s most pressing problems. This kind of added value makes the information professional indispensable. This session will capture how to create value statements and value propositions for key services and stakeholders of one’s organization. To do this, we use the formula often used by salespeople: Value X Recognition = INFLUENCE. Participants will learn to differentiate themselves from the competition by fitting into the organizational culture and creating the climate for successful implementation of innovation strategy.
