Details of meeting:
UKOLUG 2001 One Day Conference & Annual General Meeting
Exploiting Content: Raising the LIS Profile in the Informed Organisation
Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, Horseferry Road, London
26th September 2001, 09.00-16.30
Everywhere you look on the web today libraries, commercial organisations,
voluntary organisations, government departments etc. have online newsletters,
bulletins, publications of all sorts designed to deliver information, guidance,
news, etc. to their users. This is a service that all LIS professionals need
to know about, and must provide or contribute to, in order to raise the LIS
profile. LIS professionals need to be at the heart of keeping their
organisation and its users informed.
This meeting will cover the basics of the whole process of publishing and
disseminating an online newsletter - finding easy access to sources of content,
building intra-organisational links to acquire material, storing and managing
content, important issues relating to writing and editing, the basics of
publishing using DTP software (including incorporating graphics), via the web
and in PDF format.
Other ways of raising the profile of the LIS (such as setting up and managing a
web bulletin board; intranets; portals etc) will be highlighted in the final
session.
The packed Programme gives a full overview of issues involved and provides a
framework for action back in your own organisation.
