Affiliated with IWR and Online Information, the Blogs and Social Media Forum will be returning to London on 5 June. In the run-up to the event, Conference Chairman, Adrian Dale and team are currently looking for speakers with interesting web 2.0 experiences and don’t mind sharing them with their peers.
As information professionals at the cutting edge know, web 2.0 marks the transcendence between the widespread use of old technology and the adoption and utilization of the new. Through your experiences and involvement at work, whether good or bad, Adrian wants to hear your thoughts and share any advice with colleagues on how, or how not to do it.
If any of the following ring your bell or maybe touch a nerve, it could be just the thing the organisers are looking for…
• Have you've been involved in a leading-edge web 2.0 project which has made an impact?
• Has your university changed its practices to embrace new ways of teaching?
• Has your library been able to use some of the new tools to involve a wider community?
• Has traditional "search" had its day in your organisation, replaced by "socially mediated retrieval"?
• Has your organisation evolved new ethics and behaviours to cope with the change?
• Have you found the winning business model?
It doesn’t matter if you are from a large or small organisation, work in the public sector or academia, so long as you are prepared to tell a global audience from 43 countries how its done, send your proposals here or call +44 (0)20 7316 9649
web 2.0 -
ReplyDeleteThe stats very clearly show that less then 1% of web users do things like build personal profiles while 99% browse. On youtube, much less then 1% actually make and upload videos while more then 99% watch....dont drink the koolaid becuase nothing has changed. People basically like to watch, just like they did 70 year ago when TV first came out.
