Read/Write web opportunity - LIS on a Friday evening!

I attended the 2008 Margaret Chisholm "Motivate, Inspire & Lead" Lecture on Friday evening, 4 April. Aaron Schmidt is a very entertaining speaker. The presentation from the evening has been posted on his blog.

One of the questions he posed was what happens if our content becomes irrelevant to the people we are serving because of format and delivery. They are living in the Web 2.0 environment. The talk was all about the participatory culture we're living in - people are creating and using information for fun. The lines between work and play are becoming blurred. Reference was made to the paper I mentioned a few days ago - Confronting the challenges of participatory culture media education for the 21st century. He also made reference to the work being done in The Cave at UIUC. I was pleased to know what he was talking about having visited there not too long ago.
