2010 WebWise Conference on Libraries and Museums to Be Held in Denver; View "Introdction to Web 2.0" from Past Conference

From the Announcement:

The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) has selected the University of Denver and the Denver Art Museum to plan and co-host the 2010 and 2011 WebWise Conferences on Libraries and Museums in the Digital World. The next WebWise conference will take place in Denver, March 3-5, 2010, and will focus on the theme Imagining the Digital Future.

Online registration for all events will be available through the IMLS Web site in early December.

[Snip]

Each year, the WebWise Conference brings together approximately 350 representatives of museums, libraries, archives, information and systems science, and other fields interested in the future of high-quality online content for inquiry and education. In 2010, the conference will focus on the future of collaborative digitization programs, the use of new technologies to more deeply engage audiences, and the training of a 21st century cultural heritage information workforce.

It will highlight digital projects and programs in libraries, museums, and cultural heritage organizations funded through IMLS's National Leadership Grants. [Our emphasis] In addition to the conference, the University of Denver's Penrose Library and School of Library and Information Science will launch an oral history program called "Digital Pioneers," based on interviews with leading figures who have taken part in the creation of digital library and museum activities.

Webcasts from the 2009 WebWise Conference are available online.

Webcasts from the 2008 conference are also available. This conference featured a series of six sessions titled, "Introduction to Web 2.0."

All videos are free to access and view.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
