If you have ever felt bewildered by blogs or
wondered about wikis and how they might fit into
your information service, this is the course for you!
These new methods for creating, sharing and
disemminating information are developing quickly.
The course will be led by Karen Blakeman, a
leading consultant and trainer in this area. The
morning will consider the potential of blogs,
wikis and RSS in libraries, how to produce blogs
and wikis, use RSS and search for information using these technologies.
The afternoon will be given over to demonstration
and discussion sessions in small groups with
blogers and wiki contributors/creators to help
explore the isssues involved in the successful
use of these resources. The afternoon programme
is being finalised, but we plan to include case
studies from a broad mix of academic and public
libraries, government, health and corporate organisations.
