Have you ever wondered, while hunting library job postings, what IS this SharePoint that all the employers are asking us to use?  And how is it relevant to librarians?  If so, this workshop is for you.  SharePoint is an important industry tool that provides intranet content and knowledge management.  This workshop will be led by Nicole Snyder, Director of Library Services at Novack Druce Connolly Bove & Quigg LLP, who uses SharePoint as a legal librarian.  You don't want to miss this workshop!
