Web 2.0 and the Social Web are terms which are now being used widely. But what do these terms mean? And what, if anything, can Web 2.0 and the Social Web offer to museums, libraries and archives, especially small organisations with limited budgets and technical expertise?

This workshop will attempt to answer these questions. As well as demystifying the terms and the technologies, the workshop will also address the challenges which institutions may face in seeking to make use of Web 2.0 to support the needs of their users.

This workshop is aimed at members of the museums, libraries and archives communities. Priority will be given to those involved in MLA initiatives. Note that if the event is over-subscribed we reserve the right to cancel bookings in order to ensure that a suitable representation from across the sector is provided.
