Student Workshop Speaker: Content Management – Culture, Content, and Control

Lorraine Stein
December 5, 2011 

How do you get content quality under control when information resides among divergent work groups with their own rules? The lack of content quality is a competitive weakness and costly challenge for businesses with intellectual property. Content management can bring about accuracy, relevancy, consistency, and re-usability only when there is organizational conformity in rules, roles, and responsibilities. Lorraine Stein discusses how she uses her SJSU SLIS classes in the business world to instill content management processes and best practices in the workplace.
