Weblogs are no longer a fad or fashion on the Internet, used only by ‘geeks’. Delegates on the course will look at the background of Weblogs, what they are and how they can be used (both as a tool for finding information and making it available) and will include a practical element where delegates will be able to create their own weblog. Delegates do not require any technical skills or abilities, though a working knowledge of the internet is desirable.

Postponed from 2005/06, this course is designed for school librarians who already have a website or web page and who wish to extend and expand their knowledge of creating websites and pages. Participants will focus on their own websites and delegates should be prepared for constructive criticism given in a friendly environment. They will also consider other ways of making their website/web pages more user friendly, additional ideas and material they may want to include and opportunities for networking.
