Don't know your RSS from your elbow? Haven't a clue where to hang the
blogroll? Whether you plan to use these new technologies purely as
information sources, or intend using them as part of your information
delivery strategy, this session will guide you through the jargon and
demonstrate why you ought to be using them. It will look at how they can
be used to manage projects, provide users with current awareness,
generate newsletters, and promote your expertise to colleagues, users
and clients.
