Wolfson College, Oxford, Wednesday 24th November 2010


9.30 Registration

10.00 Peter Godwin (University of Bedfordshire):
Keynote speaker on Web 2.0 and information literacy

Peter is Academic Liaison Librarian at the University of Bedfordshire.
His main focus is on Information Literacy in academic libraries and in particular the impact of Web 2.0 on Information Literacy in all information sectors. He has co-edited a book for Facet on this topic. He draws on many years' experience in academic library management and has presented at Conferences in the UK, Europe and USA.



11.00 Dr Eric Davies:
Weaving ethics and law into the fabric of Web 2.0

Web 2.0 technology applications have created a new model of information dissemination where the users (consumers) of information are simultaneously also its creators. It is as if books were published with numerous blank pages into which the readers add to the narrative. Some of the ethical and legal dimensions of operating within this paradigm will be explored.
Eric Davies is currently Honorary Visiting Research Fellow in the Department of Information Science at Loughborough University, where he also teaches a programme on Ethical, Legal and Professional Issues in IT. From 1999 to 2007 he was Director of LISU and he has over 25 years experience in academic library management.

11.35 Helen Clough (Open University):
The Elluminate web conference technology.
Helen will talk about how the OU Library is using Elluminate web conferencing technology to deliver library training sessions to distance learners, and how they are equipping their librarians with the skills needed to deliver in this medium.
Helen is a Learning and Teaching Librarian at the Open University Library. She supports the Faculty of Arts and co-ordinates their face-to-face and online training programmes.


12.15 Lucy Power (Oxford Internet Institute):
Scientific social networking and open notebook science.

Some life scientists are using new online tools to reshape the ways they formally and informally produce knowledge. This is changing the way they work, and stimulating much discussion about these ways of working. This presentation will examine several of these ways of working, including online scientific social networking using a tool called Friendfeed, and online open laboratory notebooks.  These cases will be used to illustrate the types of incentives and barriers researchers face when deciding to share ideas and data using Web 2.0 tools and resources.
Lucy joined the Oxford Internet Institute in 2007 to study the impact of internet technologies on the research practices of life scientists. Since 1995 she's coded websites, administered servers, managed large Web projects, and worked for 10 years as an Information Architect, most recently at Ingenta.
