Summary
As Facebook and MySpace wage their own war for the hearts and minds of social networking disciples, the innovators and early adopters in the library and publishing communities are already forging ahead with practical and creative implementations of the new technology, whilst the majority of us occupy a position somewhere between fascination and bewilderment.
This one-day UKSG seminar is designed to meet the needs of those who want to understand what all the fuss is about, and will provide real examples of how libraries and publishers are using Web 2.0 to meet the needs of their mutual customers.
UKSG has assembled some of the leading practitioners in the field and drawn widely from the scholarly communications chain with a deliberate focus on the practical and the possible. For anyone wanting to understand more fully the possibilities offered by Web 2.0 or to take back real examples to their own organisation, this one-day event is the perfect starting point.
