Practicalities of Web 2.0:
Wednesday, 9th April 2008, 9.30 - 16.30
Kings College London, Guy's Campus, London Bridge, London
Getting to grips with Web 2.0 is not an easy task, since it's difficult to
even find a standard definition to use! You can be forgiven for doubting
that it even exists in fact, or if it does, will it really make any kind of
difference to what you do as an information professional, and how you serve
the different client groups that you have.
Rather than spend a lot of time wondering and worrying about the theoretical
aspects perhaps the best way to view the use of Web 2.0 is to consider
practical aspects - what exactly can information professionals do with these
tools?
How to use a variety of different tools, both in order to save you time and
effort in your daily work, but also how to use them to help clients. Some of
the tools covered will be start pages, building your own search engines,
creating websites without technical knowledge, utilizing community knowledge
with social networking tools, and keeping colleagues up to date with weblogs
and bookmarking tools.
Business Information:
