SLA Europe talk: Engaging with social media for fun and career success
Last week, I did a talk for SLA Europe on “Engaging with social media for fun and career success”, alongside co-panellists Meghan Jones and Neil Infield. It went pretty well, I think – and was filmed, so will be available to the wider world fairly soon! Eep… In the meantime, here is, more or less, […]
Online 2011: Identity Issues with Social Media
This session had three speakers each talking about various legal issues relating to the use of social media. I’m just going to write about the first speaker, Marydee Ojala, who spoke about who owns your “handle” – i.e. the name you use on social media sites. The other two speakers, John Sheridan and Graham Coult, […]
Online 2011: Opening keynote – Effective Social Media
At the end of November, I spent three days at the Online Information conference & exhibition in London. The conference pass was courtesy of a bursary from BIALL.

Online Networks, Or: In Cyberspace, No One Can Hear Your Awkward Pauses
This post is part of 23 Things for Professional Development. I’m a very active user of online networks, and have been for several years. For introverts like myself, online networking is invaluable: it allows me to make connections with people who I’d have been too nervous to approach in real life, it lets me dip […]
Competitive intelligence, social media and lots of talking at Online Information 2010
Last Wednesday I spent the day at Online Information in London. I was mainly there to represent SLA Europe: I went along to the breakfast in the morning, and to a reception for board members and sponsors in the evening. I also spent a few hours on our stand, talking to existing and prospective members […]
BIALL 2010: Anneli Sarkanen and James Mullan – “Using wikis as cost saving tools at FFW”
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.
