Just quickly catching up and catching my breath!
My two presentations from the last 7 days are now available on slideshare — both were effectively the same:
- Glasgow – Transformative Technologies – Utilising Web 2.0 in the OPAC
Talis Insight 2007 – OPAC 2.0: Teaching the Pig to Sing
There's also a selection of photographs from both events on Flickr:
Some of my favourite quotes from the various presentations at both events:
- [about Librarians] "We don't do cool… we do dull and worthy" (Brian Kelly, UKOLN)
- [about liability] "There is a case to be made for putting a bag over your head and ignoring it" (Betty Willder, JISC Legal)
- [about Facebook] "We've got to ban Facebook — it's too popular!" (Brian Kelly, UKOLN)
- "You've got to eat your own dog food sometimes" (Ken Chad)
- "If you're not, you should be sharing services" (Ken Chad)
- "How many of you have looked at a printed encyclopaedia in the last month? [couple of hands are raised] How many of you have looked at Wikipedia in the last week? [lots of hands are raised]" (Peter Godwin)
…next stop — Waterford, Ireland!
[update] For some reason, Slideshare keeps deleting the Talis presentation. I've now uploaded it 4 times now, and each time it's disappeared from the site an hour or so later 
The Talis slides can be grabbed instead from here.
Hi Dave
The link to the Talis Insight 2007 slides are no worky!
Chris
Thanks Chris — I'm not sure what happened to the uploaded slides? Anyway, I've re-uploaded it now
Slideshare seem to have something against my Talis slides (they've removed them 4 times now), so you can grab them from here instead.
