Community of practice to support the SMEs: Case Turku

The ICT Library project in Turku has studied the different ways in which to improve the possibilities of small and medium-sized enterprises to use information to develop their own operations. Library and information services students have surveyed the SMEs information needs and trained them in electronic information sources and their use. The ICT Library project manager, a professional information specialist, has modelled her own work in information services for the students. The different actors have formed into a small community of practice, where information specialists, students, teachers and working life join forces to advance the information services for the SMEs.
