Subject: Call for speakers and facilitators at IWMW 2008
The annual Institutional Web Management Workshop (IWMW 2008) will take
place
at the University of Aberdeen on 22-24 July.
The theme of this year's event (the 12th in the series) is "The Great
Debate". The event will provide an opportunity for members of the
institutional Web management community to engage in discussions
regarding
the future of institutional Web services, particularly in a Web 2.0
environment. Can externally hosted services, as some suggest, replace
some
of the services currently provided in-house or is such out-sourcing
dangerous for institutions, placing a reliance on unproven technologies
and
unsustainable business models?
As well as the lively debates on the role of Web 2.0, the IWMW 2008
event
will also provide an opportunity to reflect on the formative years of
the
institutional Web management community and to discuss how the community
sees
itself developing during its teenage years.
The call for speakers and workshop facilitators for IWMW 2008 is now
open.
We encourage submissions which will contribute to the debates of the
future
of our Web services, including plenary talks (perhaps providing
institutional case studies which describe changing approaches to the
provision of Web services) and workshop sessions which provide an
opportunity for more interactive and participative activities. And, as
always, we also welcome proposals on other topics which may be of
interest
to or relevant to members of institutional Web management teams and
facilitate sharing of best practices.
The call is available at
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/webmaster-2008/call/
The deadline for submissions if 29 February - but we would encourage
early
submissions in order to help us to spot any gaps in the proposals.
If you would like to discuss possible submissions feel free to contact
myself (contact details below) or Mike McConnell, local organiser (email
[log in to unmask] or phone 01224 272602)
Thanks
Brian Kelly
