making strategic decisions with regard to Web 2.0.  The aim is to provide
sufficient knowledge of the legal risks associated with Web 2.0 use at
institutions to enable decision makers to be able to assess whether the
legal safeguards which they already have in place are sufficient to
withstand the new demands of Web 2.0.  With a number of legal measures in
place an institution will be better protected should difficulties arise.
