Andrea Mitchell’s Summary

I love the challenge of hard to find information and enjoy using an ever increasing bag of tools in my searches.
My primary goal is to keep learning new techniques, processes and out of the box ideas.
I am really interested in how people find and deal with information and knowledge and how I can facilitate learning within the ever changing environment which we work in.
