BIALL conference (2)

Just another couple of notes from the BIALL conference. Ann Hemming, who now works for LexisNexis, talked about How can technology support the synergies between Education and Knowledge Management ?. Some of her points are included in her article about e-learning (written when she was still with Hugh James Soliciters):
Hemming, A. (2006?) "As inevitable as internet." Legal technology journal, 1. http://www.legaltechnologyjournal.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=18
and I notice she is talking on a similar theme at next week's Umbrella conference. E-learning does indeed have its value, but in fact both her presentation and that of Phil Bradley demonstrated that there is still value in having a real enthusiast develop their argument live in front of you.

Phil Bradley talked about Web 2.0, which he put forward as a very strong opportunity for information professionals (provided we did not let the IT people get in our way!). His ppt will be on Slideshare: it wasn't there when I just looked, but he said it would be soon, and there are number of other presentations on Web 2.0 by him at http://www.slideshare.net/philbradley/
