In 1945 Vannevar Bush wrote what has become a classic article on Memex, a system for organising the world's knowledge through the development of databases linked by human 'trail-blazers'. It became one of the inspirations behind the World Wide Web and modern search engines.
The Hamiltons have gone a step further: they created technology allowing people to follow both their own search trails and those of others, without having to worry about how they answered those elusive questions.
Megan and Nigel will discuss the origins of their idea and reveal how to follow search trails.
Nigel is the CEO, co-founder and technology expert of Turbo10.com and Trexy.com. He previously worked as an intellectual property barrister and information systems lecturer.
Megan is Marketing Director of Trexy. She is a qualified lawyer and marketing specialist.
Members preparing themselves for CILIP Chartership, Revalidation or Certification will find this talk particularly useful.
CILIP in London evening meetings are free and open to all with a professional interest in the topic. Refreshments will be available afterwards. As space is limited, please let us know if you are coming. It would be helpful to tell us how you found out about the event.
