Setting up an internal blog – advice needed!
I’ve been asked to look into some solutions for setting up a blog for internal communications within my firm. We need something that would be visible to staff only, and that is preferably cheap/free and fairly simple to set up. We’d like it to be visible through our intranet - we wouldn’t be able to integrate it […]
BIALL 2010: David Gurteen – “People 2.0: Working in a 2.0 World”
Finally got around to writing up the sessions I attended at BIALL! Will be publishing these over the next few days… For the first plenary session of the conference, David Gurteen talked about how “web 2.0″/social networking tools can benefit knowledge management and facilitate knowledge sharing. David’s slides are available on Slideshare. He explained that […]
SLA Europe – Tweeting While You Work
Went to a really interesting discussion on Tuesday, hosted by SLA Europe, on “Tweeting While You Work”. I know others are blogging this – there should be something on the SLA Europe blog about it soon – plus I was too busy on camera duty to take any notes, so I won’t go into masses […]
CLSIG Seminar: Web 2.0 – the truth behind the hype
I went to a seminar last night, hosted by CLSIG, which followed a kind of “web 2.0: pros and cons” format. Now, the fact that the first thing I did on leaving the seminar was tweet about it, then head home and start blogging about it, should tell you which side of the fence I […]
Wikipedia to Colour Code Untrustworthy Text
Now this looks interesting: apparently Wikipedia are introducing a new gadget to colour-code text according to how long it’s remained unedited, and how reliable the editor is (based on how long their edits persist). Obviously it won’t be perfect: the developers admit that “If 20 people are all biased in one way, our tool does […]
LibraryThing
Been a bit quiet on the blogging front recently – this is of course because I’ve been messing around on the internet and generally procrastinating hard at work on my dissertation! In moments away from my dissertation work, I’ve also (re)discovered LibraryThing. I set up an account months ago, and didn’t really do much with […]
CILIP Umbrella: Second Life
My final session I attended was on “Professional inspiration to join the communities of Second Life”. I went along to this one out of pure curiosity – I’d never used Second Life at all, I didn’t really understand what it was for and I absolutely didn’t get how it could be a useful tool for […]
CILIP Umbrella: Access to Government Information
After the first-timers lunch (a great opportunity to chat to some fellow newbies!) I went to a session on access to UK government information. This is a topic I’m quite passionate about, so I was interested to hear about the current initiatives to make public information more accessible. There were two speakers in this session: […]
CILIP Umbrella: Day One – morning
Another week, another conference… Tuesday and Wednesday this week were spent at the CILIP Umbrella conference in Hatfield. I’d been looking forward to this one: not having been to many CILIP events, I was interested to see what they had to offer. The conference programme looked very broad (although being CILIP there was a heavy […]
Mashed Libraries 2009: Mash Oop North!
Note: I actually wrote most of this on the train on the way home from Huddersfield last Tuesday, but due to my insanely busy week have only just managed to get it finished off! Will be blogging my last two days at CILIP Umbrella next, will try and get that up a little quicker… Just […]
