Went to the London Museums Librarians and Archivists Group conference at the end of April and Brian Kelly (a colleague of Kara's) was speaking on Web 2.0 - and I certainly came away full of enthusiasm for changing the way we do things at work - now it is a question of persuasion. Another fantastic site was a co-operative partnership of UK university libraries for accessing first editions of manuscripts held by their libraries. www.britaininprint.net - the best bit is the Shakespeare online section which has scans of the first editions, a transcription and an actor reading the text- in addition there are academic essays on different aspects of the text/plays and something less highbrow for those who want to explore in a less academc way.
Excellent day - all round - and held in the British Museum's BP lecture theatre - hadn't been to the BM for years and was well impressed with the great court.
