Learn about blogs and wikis
There's a BlogWiki Workshop 2005 being held at the University of Miami, May 19-20, 2005. From the description:
Blogs, Wikis, News Aggregators and RSS/Atom Feeds are emerging technologies that have and will continue to transform all fields of communication, scholarship, and library and other information services. The goals of BlogWiki2005 are to provide an introduction to these technologies and practical examples of their applications that libraries and other organizations can easily implement to their advantage.
Among the presenters, Sabrina Pacifici of LLRX.com, a site filled with information on research on legal and other topics. posted by liz at 4:43 PM
