First attempt at liveblogging at the Shock of the Old 7 Conference. The venue is the Said Business School, University of Oxford (just a few minutes walk from the office). The conference is looking at the use of Web 2.0 technologies in education, quite a few of the presentations have focussed on JISC funded projects. Currently in a very informative and actually quite entertaining talk (and the final one of the day), Alan Bell the Records Manager and Information Compliance Officer at the University of Dundee is talking about ‘Web 2.0 and the risk to the ‘information resource‘. Overall, I think this conference has been very useful in thinking about how the OARS repository and the content stored within it will fit into the wider Internet and Web 2.0.
