What happens at Library Camp stays at Library Camp…
…except of course it doesn’t! No chance of that, with all the bloggers in attendance… Here’s my small contribution to the blog posts currently piling up. It will be only a small contribution, as I didn’t make any notes at all, so here’s what I can remember from the sessions I attended (apologies in advance [...]
SLA 2011: First reflections
I got back yesterday from the SLA conference in Philadelphia, and am absolutely buzzing with ideas and inspiration! I’m going to be blogging more about the actual sessions I attended, but I thought I’d jot down a few first impressions while everything is still fresh in my mind. 1. 2011 was the year of gadgets [...]
Competitive intelligence, social media and lots of talking at Online Information 2010
Last Wednesday I spent the day at Online Information in London.

I also spent a few hours on our stand, talking to existing and prospective members [...]

BIALL 2010: Amanda McKenzie – “The Legal Services Act: What it means for legal and information professionals”
The final talk from BIALL I want to write about was Amanda McKenzie’s tremendously detailed talk on the Legal Services Act 2010. The Legal Services act is one of those things that I know is incredibly important, but I’ve never really been able to get my head around, so it was useful to have such [...]

This was a presentation I’d really been looking forward to: Anneli Sarkanen and James Mullan talking about the wiki they’d set up for use within their firm. The IS/KM team at Field Fisher Waterhouse wanted to introduce a wiki for various purposes: increased collaboration, cross department/office working, knowledge sharing, project management, and drawing together content.
