If you have ever felt bewildered by blogs or 
wondered about wikis and how they might fit into 
your information service, this is the course for you!

These new methods for creating, sharing and 
disemminating information are developing quickly. 
The course will be led by Karen Blakeman, a 
leading consultant and trainer in this area.  The 
morning will consider the potential of blogs, 
wikis and RSS in libraries, how to produce blogs 
and wikis, use RSS and search for information using these technologies.
The afternoon will be given over to demonstration 
and discussion sessions in small groups with 
blogers and wiki contributors/creators to help 
explore the isssues involved in the successful 
use of these resources. The afternoon programme 
is being finalised, but we plan to include case 
studies from a broad mix of academic and public 
libraries, government, health and corporate organisations.

More information will appear on on the ISG L&SE
