[WEB4LIB] WEB4LIB digest 3684

[Brian Kelly]

Hi Bill
  I organised a day's event on collaborative technologies last November, 
in which delegates could make use of IM, Wikis (Wikalong), Blogs and Skype.
   One thing we did was to  have an Acceptable Use Policy  for the event 
- see:
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/ucisa-wlf-2004-11/aup
   There do appear to be cultural differences regarding use of WiFi 
technologies at events - in some of the international events we're 
organised recently delegates from North America  have expected such 
networks to be available, but those from Europe have expressed concerns 
that such technologies may be disruptive.
   Reports on the event, transcripts of the IM chats, Wiki sessions and 
links to Blog reports are available from:
http://www.ukoln.ac.uk/web-focus/events/workshops/ucisa-wlf-2004-11/
   Something I noticed was the differences between the Blog written 
continually during the event and the two written afterwards.

Hope this is of use.

Brian
