Speaker: Karen Blakeman, Consultant
Don't know your RSS from your elbow? Haven't a clue where to hang the blogroll? Whether you plan to use these new technologies purely as information sources, or intend using them as part of your information delivery strategy, this session will guide you through the jargon and demonstrate why you ought to be using them. It will look at how they can be used to manage projects, provide users with current awareness, generate newsletters, and promote your expertise to colleagues, users and clients.
