Presentation: Internet Search - a challenging and ever changinglandscape
CILIP in the Thames Valley, 6th October 2009, Great Expectations, Reading
The presentation I gave to CILIP in the Thames Valley on 6th October is now available in a number of locations. At least one of these should be accessible through your firewall!
PowerPoint presentation - RBA web site

Some of the slides have annotations from my blog and new comments so make sure you check out the notes to the slides. Many of the slides are screen shots so they won't make much sense without the notes or unless you were at the live presentation.

Mashups - a free evening seminar from CILIP BBOD
I am giving a presentation on mashups at next Tuesday's CILIP BBOD evening meeting.
Date: Tuesday 5th May 18.00 for 18.30 (postponed from February)
Presenter: Karen Blakeman
Venue: Great Expectations, 33 London Street, Reading, Berkshire RG1 4PS www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=471801&y=173139&z=0&ar=Y
Please advise Norman Briggs, BBOD Events Co-Ordinator Tel: 0118 987 1115 or nwbriggs@pcintell.co.uk
or Chrissy Allott, BBOD Chair Chrissy.Allott@berkshire.nhs.uk if you plan to attend
Seminar details
Mashups - tasty recipes for 2009
Mashups are not just for the remnants of your Christmas or Sunday dinner! A mashup is also a web application that combines data from more than one source into a single integrated tool, and you may be surprised at how commonplace they have become. Blogs, Yahoo Finance, Facebook, Geograph, and the latest UK police forces’ crime statistics all use mashups.
Karen Blakeman will look at examples from a variety of sectors and subject areas and show how easy it is to create your own. The issues of quality and ownership of data will also be addressed.
BBOD meetings are free and open to all with a professional interest in the topic.
Refreshments provided afterwards.

Hants & Isle of Wight Web 2.0 Session
A reminder to all of you who attended the CILIP Hampshire & Isle of Wight evening meeting on Web 2.0 and social networking that the PowerPoint can be downloaded from http://www.rba.co.uk/hiow/ . Anyone is free to download it if they wish but it probably won't make much sense unless you were there and heard my commentary! It is also available on SlideShare at http://www.slideshare.net/KarenBlakeman/cilip-hants-isle-of-wight-social-networking
You might also like to view the twitterstream that evolved over the evening by going to http://search.twitter.com/ and searching on the hashtag #hiow . You will note the participants had their priorities right by tweeting on the quality of the biscuits and tea/coffee :-)
A big thank you to all of you around the world who tweeted to us at the seminar about where you were, what you were doing and how you use Twitter. It really showed how great Twitter can be.
