The same topic came up recently on the APRA''s listserve, PRSPCT-L. We''ve since tried to contact the alum and explain why he hadn''t heard from us in 30 years, but, no surprise, he''s been somewhat difficult to engage. deceased; does not want to be contacted; do not email; etc.). no contact or gifts in the last 7 years).
Out of habit, I started off doing the research in my usual ways - posts to listservs, search engine, private emails, and posts to forums. The guide helped me understand that I was looking for both specific conferences as well as lists of conferences in those areas by knowledgeable people. The next step was to send it my contacts.
I'm using some traditional ways to research this topic: -Email to listservs -Posts on online forums -Google search. Oh no, your query is analyzed and sent to a knowledgable ChaCha Guide who is trained to search and already knows a lot about the very thing you???re The work in progress is here. re not searching alone. re looking for!
This happens all the time on listservs where people who work on integrating technology into their work participate -- whether it be teachers, librarians, community of practice, online facilitators, nonprofit techies, etc. For example, recently on the UK Riders list there was a thread about tech support knowledge base software.
I was recently contacted by the vendor behind a new cloud-based donor management system with this question: "We have noticed that our clients have become much more conscious about archiving/deleting old donor/prospect records because our pricing model is based on the number of records. no contact or gifts in the last 7 years)."

But we’ve got Elizabeth’s contact information like she said up on the screen. And when people ask why I do the work that I do, I like to share my own mission.
And I think another important component is knowledge. And in terms of the general information that you should gather, and this could be then built into your grants calendar, general information, and including contact information, it’s very, very critical to have that and how they like to be contacted. Is it phone, e-mail?
The artifacts are reaccessioned, the labels (hopefully) recycled, but what happens to the knowledge? NSF requires grant applicants to build on prior knowledge--where do you get it? I'm a big advocate of the profile part, and want to see it used in other ways for members to contact each other.
Human contact is hard to come by, and while websites and phone systems provide the basics, there are many visitors with complex questions—often more interesting questions—who are turned away by the frustrating inability to reach a real person. There's also the opportunity to use forums and other tools for industry support.
