Re: STC Conference Panelist needed

The difference seems simple to me.  Information is a 300 page manual with
the answer in it somewhere, but you don't know where because there's no TOC
and no index.  Knowledge is a 300 topic online Help system with a TOC,
indexing, related topics buttons, and hyperlinks.

Feeling very smug about my metaphor, and waiting to be shot down
unmercifully,
Hope Cascio

I must need that panel discussion because "information workers"/"knowledge
workers" strikes me as a distinction without a difference.
