LIBFAQ: A KM Case Study • Capturing Information Professionals’ Expertise • Database-Driven; Web-Enabled Process • Multiple Uses: • Library staff • Internet Team • the World!
LIBFAQ: KM in Action • Questions received from the public are entered into a database • Librarian answers to these questions are also entered into the same record as the question • Internet Team selects appropriate questions for editing and eventual posting to the Atlanta Fed’s Web site
LIBFAQ: The Process / Technology • Cold Fusion is an established application at the Atlanta Fed • With Library staff input, developers created a data entry screen for questions with fields for answers and up to three Internet links • Questions and answers are associated with categories based on the Library’s reference answer sheets
LIBFAQ: The Process / Technology • Our developers also created reports that Library staff can run • LIBFAQ is available on the Bank’s intranet; Staff can view question categories and associated questions and answers • Selected LIBFAQ questions and answers have been incorporated into the Atlanta Fed’s Web site
LIBFAQ: Advantages • Library staff intelligence is permanently captured in electronic format and can be easily edited • Internet team has a pool of questions to select from; This keeps our Internet site’s FAQ updated and constantly growing • The Bank’s “electronic” customers - staff and our INTERNET audience - save themselves time if they are able to find answers themselves!
LIBFAQ: KM @ the Atlanta Fed • A manual process has been automated (to a degree) • Time and money saved by Library staff and Internet team • LIBFAQ can be applied at an enterprise level, the Federal Reserve System as a whole! • Time for a demonstration
