E-Library& Information Architecture  Masterclass 2014
"Using practiced and emerging new media to maximise your information centre"

24-25 JULY  2014, HOLIDAY INN HOTEL, JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA

[Introduction]
Libraries and corporate information centres are experiencing a revolution in the way information is delivered, accessed, obtained and stored.
With the emergence of tools such as Twitter, Facebook, blogs, wikis, LinkedIn, virtual worlds and RSS feeds, it is now necessary to offer a more customer-driven, socially rich and collaborative model of service and content delivery online and in our buildings.
In order to stay relevant and respond accordingly to the changing needs of users, libraries and corporate information centres need to choose the right tools from the vast array of options available and seek practical methods to implement these processes within their organisations.
This two-day interactive study group will give attendees the opportunity to hear about:
*          Social media, Web 2.0 and libraries .
*          Applying collaborative technologies: Twitter, Facebook, blogs, social bookmarking, RSS, and content .
*          Possible service impact of e-books, cloud computing and the mobile web.
*          New trends in opening up the library - open source, open data, open access.
