UKeiG Annual Seminar
Web 2.0 in action: Practical implementation in the workplace
Bloomsbury Suite, Brunei Gallery, SOAS, Thornhaugh Street,
Russell Square, London WC1H 0XG
Thursday, 12th June 2008
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.
Speakers include:
Mike Watson Managing Director, Ektron Europe Limited. Mike oversees
Ektron's fast growing operations in Europe, managing a team providing sales,
technical training, support and professional services. He has online
experience in both the information and creative
areas of organizational life. Ektron is a web content management and
