A message intended for the lis-pub-web Mailbase community, which I'll copy
to the lis-pub-libs JISCmail community as the former list is about to close.

Sometime ago I posted a message to this list asking for information on
Advertising on Public Sector Web sites for a talk I was preparing. I gave
the talk at the Internet Librarian International conference in London on
Tuesday. As promised, my slides are now available at:
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/conferences/ili-2001/advertising/
BTW The Government has very Blairite views on this matter:
Advertising
7.21 Advertising will increasingly become a potential source of revenue
on high use government sites. For example, the old government portal
www.open.gov.uk received 14 million hits per week on average in the first
half of 2000. In the private sector this could generate advertising
income
of around 17 million p.a.49 By not accepting advertising government
forgoes potential revenue, but maintains its reputation for impartiality
and
probity. As these opportunities proliferate it is clearly important that
a
consistent approach is adopted.
7.22 Public sector site owners are free to advertise, providing that
certain
conditions are met on the probity of material and the consistency with
wider policy objectives.

Subject: Farewell to Lis-pub-web
