ASIST members attending the ASIST 2006 conference,

We have an exciting workshop planned for Saturday afternoon, on wikis and
blogs.   We encourage you to consider attending this inexpensive, but likely
very stimulating workshop discussing experiences with using wikis and blogs
for conference communications.

Workshop on Blogs and Wikis:  How They Can Improve Conference Communications
(SIGs DL, BWP, KM)
Half Day Seminar, Saturday, Nov. 4, 2006, 2:00pm-5:00pm (separate fee)
Sponsored by:  SIG Digital Libraries (DL), SIG Blogs/Wikis/Podcasting (BWP),
SIG Knowledge Management (KM)
Overview
Blogs and Wikis are two interactive technologies that are transforming the
way many people communicate. This workshop will provide an open discussion
of how wikis and blogs can be used for conference related communication
activities. Eight experienced early adopters of these technologies will
present wikis and blogs they have developed for conferences, and will review
additional blogs and wikis (including each others). After their
presentations there will be an open discussion by all workshop participants
about the pros and cons of wikis and blogs for improving conference
communications. There will be ample time for workshop attendees to ask
questions about the basics of setting up blogs and wikis as well as how best
to utilize them for conferences. Workshop attendees are encouraged to share
their own experiences and show their own wiki or blogs for conference type
communications.
