Committee member and CILIP councillor Karen Blakeman is flying the UKeiG
flag at the Internet Librarian International conference being held in
London on October 16th-17th. Karen's talk on 'Out-Googling Google:
Finding what Google Misses' is timetabled for the October 17th afternoon
track on Internet Search Intricacies. Other speakers in the track are
Stephen Arnold (What’s New with Search), and Jenny Levine and Michael
Stephens (Creating Communities, Interacting with Users).
The whole conference promises to be a real humdinger with Danny Quah
from the London School of Economics kicking off the event with an
opening keynote on The Knowledge Glut. Greg Notess, the man behind
Search Engine Showdown, opens the second day with Reinventing Ourselves
as Internet Librarians. Sessions include Web 2.0 and Library 2.0, Wikis
and Social Software, Open Access Open Source, Digitisation Discoveries,
Management techniques for Internet Librarians, e-Learning and
Information Literacy, and Electronic Resources. As well as formal
presentations there are case studies, discussion sessions and ample
opportunity for networking with other delegates.
