MAY 2008
COPYRIGHT FOR INFORMATION PROVIDERS: ADVANCED, Thursday 1, £280+VAT(£350+VAT)
A basic understanding of copyright highlights just how complex an issue it is. Knowing how the law works is just the beginning but you need to be able to map basic concepts new and innovative information delivery systems and technologies. After this day's training you will have a grater understanding of how to interpret the law and how to put in place management systems that take account of the rapidly changing techniques used for information storage and delivery.

WEB 2.0: AN OVERVIEW, Monday 12, £260+VAT(£325+VAT)
Web 2.0 is said by some not to exist. Nevertheless, the new technologies associated with web 2.0 are increasingly described in the literature, and most significantly, are being used by your students, colleagues, friends and relations, as everyday information management tools. There are no rules, everyone can contribute, and no-one needs to use controlled vocabulary or command language. The phrase 'social networking' is no longer contained within the field of knowledge management, and there is a feeling that the information chain has undergone radical restructuring, without anyone saying so. People you know are becoming well informed, undertaking the roles of search specialist, critic and even publisher. If you do not know how information is being communicated, then it is hard, if not impossible, to find what you need, or even to be aware it exists. This one day event explains what is meant by web 2.0 applications, and looks at using weblogs, rss, wikis, podcasts, social linking and tagging, shared authoring tools, instant messaging, and social networking sites, within the context of an information management environment. Course Director: Lyn Robinson http://www.aslib.com/training/5/03.html
METADATA: PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE, Tuesday 13, £260+VAT(£325+VAT)
Metadata is one of the most important, but least understood, aspects of the modern information environment. This course demystifies the concept of metadata, and shows how and why it is used, in a variety of environments. A variety of commonly-used metadata formats will be demonstrated for example Dublin Core, and AACR/MARC - and the way in which metadata creation relates to the 'traditional' library/information tasks of indexing and cataloguing will be outlined. Library/information workers are often called to create metadata records; they may also be asked to evaluate, choose or create metadata formats for their organisation's information. This course deals with both these topics, in principle and in practice.
