Curious about why to use social media tools in the promotion and development of your personal and professional brand? The panel will describe the info pro's evolving role in this century's work environment. The classic environment of being an employee within an organization may be a thing of the past as more info pros are traditional employment with having their own consulting practice. This new workforce has a different set of skills, competencies and expectations of "work". As new technologies emerge, they can be used to market our expertise, monitor and track trends, and enhance information and knowledge services.
