Web 2.0 is changing the way that people access information on the Web, and many users now
expect to be able to customise, edit and add content to their own online spaces.
Responding to this, Mimas has developed a range of free integration services utilising
personalisation tools, RSS feeds, and widgets, which enable users to exploit its resources
and services within the context of their own websites and Virtual Learning Environments
(VLEs).
This course will look at some new developments from the Archives Hub, Copac and Intute,
and will give participants the opportunity to experiment with these new tools.
By the end of the session, participants should be able to:
- use a range of integration tools and widgets from the Archives Hub, Copac and Intute
- describe the benefits of using Mimas developments in integration and personalisation
- identify ways to use Mimas developments in their own institutions
