WEBLOGS AND WIKIS: AN ADVANCED GUIDE
16 November 2006, London
The increase in Web 2.0 applications that have been appearing in the last year are simple to use, and allow information professionals to make information available more quickly and effectively than ever before. They also save a lot of time, without steep learning curves.
This workshop will examine many of these tools in a practical manner, allowing participants to explore ways in which shared search techniques, social bookmarking, saved data, wikis and other applications not only promote the information centre, but provide a richness and depth of information to their users that has not been possible until now.
As participants will need to register with various utilities they should have access to a web based email account such as Hotmail or Gmail if they are unable to access their usual work/home email accounts.
WHO WILL BENEFIT BY ATTENDING?
Those who have attended the beginner's workshop and those who have had responsibility for current awareness or SDS for at least 3 years and/or those who need to promote their services. You must also have set up a weblog prior to the start of the course and be using it.
BY THE END OF DAY PARTICIPANTS WILL HAVE:
¨ enhanced their use of weblogs
¨ learnt how to use advanced information handling tools
¨ looked at the latest developments
¨ explored further practical methods to avoid duplication of output
¨ created their own wiki or added to an existing one
