Programme

Keynote speakers

Richard Gatarski - Re:thinking publishing : a social media update
Dr. Richard Gatarski will provide an overview of the latest developments within social media and Web 2.0. We will learn about technical terms such as micro blogging, wikis, tagging, RSS, mashups, podcasting, widgets, communities, and more. All presented with the help of cases that are demonstrated in a practical and entertaining fashion. Beware! Richard Gatarsky is a professional speaker and freelance advisor specialised in social media developments, marketing and education. As a speaker Richard is experimenting with new, inspiring, and multiple threaded forms of presentations - by some referred to as digital storytelling. The results are thought-provoking illustrations of contemporary life.

Brian Kelly - Realising the Potential of Web 2.0
The NordLib2.0 conference is understandably excited about the potential of Library 2.0 and Web 2.0, and will seek to inspire participants with a variety of presentations outlining how the Web 2.0 environment is helping to enrich teaching, learning and research activities within the community. But are such developments sustainable? What about the risks associated with, say, the use of third party services with no formal contractual agreements? And what about legal concerns, related to privacy, copyright, accessibility, etc.? How should institutions respond to such concerns? Do such the concerns mean that institutions should ignore the benefits which Web 2.0 seems to promise? Or should institutions ignore such conservatism, and be willing to embrace the challenges of the brave new world of Web 2.0? In this presentation Brian Kelly, a national Web adviser in the UK, will give his thoughts on how higher educational institutions should respond to these challenges.
