Tomorrow you'll do more research for another client. But why drop the ball there? Librarians are in a perfect position to leverage complex sets of data to spot trends, opportunities and threats across their organization's industries. Based on a workshop offered at the 2007 SLA conference, this session will describe National Geographic's Libraries and Information Services' experience in setting up a trends analysis program, developing cross-divisional teams and structures to support it, and gaining upper management support to sustain and grow the program.
