The 2008 ISI :Lazerow Lecture sponsored by UK’s School of Library and Information Science will occur on Monday, April 7th, 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. in the Niles Gallery of the Little Library. The lecture will be given by Martin Dillon, former head of OCLC’s Office of Research & Library Resources Management Division. The title of the lecture is The Evolving Web & the Changing Role of Information Providers.
Lecture summary: The Web was created in 1989 and has been rapidly evolving ever since. We are well into Web 2.0 and breaking ground for Web 3.0. The information industries are dominated by the growth of the Web – its technologies, capacities, extent and reach throughout the world. This talk will provide a glimpse of the Web trends that track this growth and are central to information and its dissemination. It will also look closely at Web features, focusing on the social 'activities' of Web 2.0, but also looking ahead to what many are calling the semantic Web of Web 3.0. The purpose throughout will be to suggest ways that information providers and libraries in particular might leverage their intellectual capital and habits of collaboration into a more prominent Web presence.
Refreshments will be served, following the Lecture.
