Web 2.0 Seminar

Current Awareness Seminar:

 

Web 2.0 and its potential for the library community

27 November 2007

Theatre, National Library of Australia, Canberra ACT

 

Organised by the School of Information Studies, Charles Sturt University, with generous support from the National Library of Australia.

Registration for this event is now closed

The concept of Web 2.0 offers a new paradigm in how institutions and organisations interact with their user communities online. Web 2.0 technologies emphasise a more open organisational model, participation, collaboration, sharing as behaviours, the creation of user-generated content as a platform for re-use and service development as an ongoing and constant cycle. How do the development and delivery of library services sit within this paradigm? How can Web 2.0 technologies facilitate Library 2.0; a new way of thinking about how libraries and their communities interact with one another.

A series of speakers will provide background and detail in plain language on current and proposed strategies to deal with this rapidly expanding issue.

A joint initiative of Charles Sturt University and the National Library of Australia.

Another in the CSU/NLA series of one day current awareness seminars aimed at bringing non-specialist library and related information professionals up to date in important areas of the profession.   Registration for the seminar will be free of charge, and lunch will be provided.
