Web 2.0 and the social web - what does it mean for museums, libraries,
and archives?

Cost: Free to museums, libraries, and archives in the 32 London Boroughs

Web 2.0 and the Social Web are terms which are now being used widely.
But what exactly do these terms mean? And what, if anything, can Web 2.0
and the Social Web offer to museums, libraries and archives - especially
small organisations with limited budgets and technical expertise?
This workshop, which is being organised by UKOLN, a national centre of
expertise in digital information management, will attempt to answer
these questions. As well as demystifying the terms and the technologies,
the workshop will also address the challenges which institutions may
face in seeking to make use of Web 2.0 to support the needs of their
users.
