The Philadelphia Chapter of the Special Libraries Association invites you to join us for an informative evening of learning and networking… 

Blogs, wikis, tags and other user-contributed content models have proven themselves within the public sphere, but what challenges are introduced by bringing them into the corporate world?  Kevin Kearney, a Lead within the Avenue A | Razorfish User Experience practice, will provide an overview of how these challenges are being addressed. His talk will include a review of the tools and sites currently being used, an analysis of trends in social media, and a discussion of the role of user-contributed content in the future of corporate knowledge management.

Presenter:  Kevin Kearney is an Experience Lead at Avenue A/Razorfish with over 7 years of experience in information architecture. He has developed rich media applications, transactional interfaces, intranets, client extranets, kiosk interfaces, and corporate redesigns covering a variety of industries. His most recent work includes solutions for Time Warner, Conde Nast, and The New York Times. Before his work in information architecture, Kevin developed marketing strategy at Lowe & Partners.
