If it’s not live, it’s not blogging! Here I am only minutes ago on the SNEEP stand at the JISC Innovation Forum 2008 at Keele University demoing the ajaxy fun that can be had commenting and tagging Eprints with the SNEEP plugins. No pens or mugs, unfortunately, but plenty of copies of the highly informative Sneepflet.
As usual, a JISC gathering is a great opportunity to meet others working in the field – plenty of familiar faces and some new ones. JISC-sponsored innovations move on at a head-spinning pace in all the areas we are directly or indirectly involved in, from digital preservation and archives to repositories and e-learning. With JISC-PoWR in mind, I was especially interested to meet our former ULCC/RSC colleague Sarah Sherman, who is now working on the APT-STAIRS project, investigating the use of Google Docs for students, teachers and researchers. Definitely a preservation angle here, that I hope we’ll be able to follow up.
Plenty about the conference, and more, on the JIF08 blog; if contemporaneous twittering is your bag, check out twemes.com/jif08.
