‘ Creating an information literate Scotland’ Community of Practice Lesley Thomson Knowledge Management Officer, Scottish Centre for Regeneration

What is a Community of Practice (CoP)?
What it is about – joint enterprise as understood and continually renegotiated by its members
How it functions – mutual engagement that bind members together into a social entity
What capability it has produced – shared repertoire of communal resources that members have developed over time
