UKeiG Annual
Seminar
Web 2.0 in
action: Practical implementation in the workplace
Bloomsbury
Seminar Outline
Web 2.0 is tagged onto a variety of internet-based
tools and systems. These tools can help integrate resources and share
knowledge, but in many instances there needs to be a change in organisational
culture for successful implementation. How do you practically implement Web
2.0 in the workplace? How do you encourage and enable a library community of
users to participate to enhance the efficiency of your organisation. The aim
of the day will be to highlight and showcase Web 2.0 technologies in action, focusing
on case studies from across the electronic information sector that show how Web
2.0 is being effectively used within the workplace.
Who
should attend
This seminar is open to non-members as well as
UKeiG members. The programme will interest and engage information
professionals from all sectors with responsibility for enhancing organisational
efficiency. It will be of equal interest to students studying library &
information science as librarians, information specialists and library managers
and those with responsibility for improving library services.
