Title: Wikis and Blogs–How they can improve conferences and related activities
Presenters: Brad Hemminger and Jackson Fox
Where: Manning 208
When: Friday, Oct 14th 2005, 12 noon
Presentation:Not available
For the first time, the American Society for Information Science & Technology (ASIST) conference will host both a blog and a wiki for their annual conference. Brad Hemminger and Jackson Fox developed and will host the ASIST 2005 wiki. We’ll talk about our vision for how we think wikis and blogs can help encourage communication between conference participants before, during and after the conference. We’ll walk you through the ASIST wiki, blog, and some of the behind the scene decisions in choosing the wiki, and designing it for ASIST. We’ll leave time for lots of questions, and for others to share their experience with wikis and blogs as well. Please bring your laptop and engage in interacting with and updating the wiki (before, during and after the talk)!

Below are links to the main ASIST wiki page, and the discussion page on the wiki specifically for this talk. Use the discussion page to pose questions and comments before or during the talk.

If you don’t have experience with wikis yet, we promise you’ll have at least a passing knowledge by the end of this talk!
