SLA Europe Chapter

Tweeting While you Work: Presentations, podcasts and more

Last Tuesday (16 March) saw another successful SLA Europe event.

Kindly sponsored by Lexis Nexis, Dr Hazel Hall (@hazelh; @LISResearch; @CentSocInfo) of Napier University in Edinburgh, Julie Hall (@juliehall) of Women Unlimited and Julie Lewis (@judithlewis; @MostlyAboutChocolate; @Seshet) of Seshet Consulting gave their perspective on using Twitter at work and as part of our work.

We'll have a full event writeup here soon.

Other bloggers and sources have reviews if you want a flavour of the event in the meantime - check out WoodsieGirl, Uncooked Data , Vexed Issue and a review from VIP.

You can view our Flickr stream here and the Twapperkeeper archive is also available to see what's been tweeted around the event.

But for a real flavour of the event, SLA members can access all the presentations and recording of the event via the SLA Europe Wiki space. If it's your first time on the wiki you'll need to log in to the SLA website at www.sla.org and create a username. If you're already registered you should be good to access via this link.

Tweeting while you work: Making the most of micro-blogging

SLA Europe's next event is fast approaching (16 March) and if you haven't already registered, now is the time to do so. You can book online here for the event, generously sponsored by Lexis Nexis.

Everyone is talking about Twitter these days. Celebrities, politicians and the average person on the street are all posting tweets to keep their followers up to date on what they are doing, but is it also useful as a business information tool? What value can it provide to businesses and to you, as an information professional?

 

We have three experts in the field of social media who will be sharing their views on how we can successfully use Twitter at work:

 

• Julie Hall, the founder of Women Unlimited and owner of Springmedia
• Judith Lewis, Director of Seshet Consulting and regular blogger on SEO Chicks
• Dr Hazel Hall, Director of the Centre for Social Informatics with research expertise in online information sharing

Bob De Laney, from our sponsor Lexis Nexis, will chair the evening.

 

Where: Balls Brothers at Minster Pavement, Minster Court, Mincing Lane EC3R 7PP

When: Tuesday 16th March, 6pm Registration 6:30pm Start

Followed by a networking opportunity over drinks and canapés.
