Dear Colleagues,
We are taking bookings until October 31st for "Knowledge
organization goes mobile" - ISKO UK afternoon meeting at City
University London, 5th November 2014
Mobile phones, tablets, text messaging, etc., everybody's doing
it, doing it... but are we doing it - we the Knowledge
Organization (KO) community? Are we doing it effectively? Are we
applying mobile methods to our core KO interests? Is KO taking full
advantage of the opportunities to reach our end-users wherever they
go? Come to the City University on Wednesday 5 November afternoon to
think some more about these questions.
Generously hosted by the City University, this half-day meeting will
focus on ways of organizing information to take advantage of mobile
technology. Papers and posters explore the challenges of organizing
and delivering information via mobile platforms including mobile
phones and tablets to support mobile working. The meeting includes
reports on technology solutions that enable users to locate and
interact with information in a variety of information formats and
media. There will also be posters disseminating the latest research
by PhD students in the leading departments around the UK.
Speakers include:
- Max Whitby of Touchpress, organizing information for us on iPads;
- John Baker and Tom Crane of Digirati, on optimizing for a mobile
environment at the Wellcome library;
- Sharon Richardson of Joining Dots Ltd, who advocates "Bring your
own... everything!";
- Amir Naghsh, London School of Economics, who describes "Women’s
walks", a project of the LSE Library using smartphone technology.
As usual the afternoon will be FREE for ISKO members and full-time
students, and just £40 for non-members. For details and booking,
