Effective Knowledge Management with Microsoft SharePoint Content Types

This Wrox Blox shows you best-practice scenarios for knowledge worker information management using SharePoint Lists and Document Libraries. It demonstrates features that are common to both Windows SharePoint Services version 3.0 (WSS v3) and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 (MOSS 2007). Starting with examples of traditional filing systems using folder hierarchies, it progresses to the introduction of custom metadata columns to make storing, navigating, and searching for documents and list information more efficient than ever before. It then wraps up with an example using custom SharePoint Content Types to better manage sets of information across multiple SharePoint Sites, Lists, and Document Libraries.
