Caught up in Web 2.0?:
Practical implementations and creative solutions for librarians and
publishers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Thursday 22 November 2007
The Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining, London
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As Facebook and MySpace wage their own war for the hearts and minds of
social networking disciples, the innovators and early adopters in the
library and publishing communities are already forging ahead with practical
and creative implementations of the new technology, whilst the majority of
us occupy a position somewhere between fascination and bewilderment.
This one-day UKSG seminar is designed to meet the needs of those who want to
understand what all the fuss is about, and will provide real examples of how
libraries and publishers are using Web 2.0 to meet the needs of their mutual
customers.
UKSG has assembled some of the leading practitioners in the field and drawn
widely from the scholarly communications chain with a deliberate focus on
the practical and the possible. For anyone wanting to understand more fully
the possibilities offered by Web 2.0 or to take back real examples to their
own organisation, this one-day event is the perfect starting point.
