what I have learn in this session is the importance of taping and storing the knowledge of people leaving the organisation for the purpose of creating basis for creating new knowledge.
INNOVATION AND THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX FOR SOUTH AFRICAN LIBRARIES by Prof Johannes Cronje.
Creativity and innovation is the only way we will keep up to date with the ever-changing needs of our libraries.
