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.
