THE WIKI:   slq UnConference 2008: Web 2.0. Now what?

 Social Networking Showcase Presentations @ the slq UnConference 2008

We would like to hear from you if you or your library:

• Have been involved in a leading-edge library 2.0 project which has made an impact?
• Has been able to use some of the new tools to involve a wider community?
• Has developed new ethics and behaviours to cope with change?

It doesn’t matter if you are from a large or small library, as long as you are prepared to share your experience using a maximum of 20 slides, 20 seconds each for a maximum of 6 minutes.

Showcase presentations aim to provide delegates of the UnConference the chance to view successful library application of web 2.0 tools.

The result: 6-minute talks with jam-packed, significant visuals, and everyone asking for more. Based on pecha-kucha (Japanese for “chatter”), applies a simple set of rules to presentations: maximum of 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each. Say what you need to say in less than six minutes of exquisitely matched words and images and then take a seat.
