- How can web 2.0 technologies help and in particular how might cloudworks help?

I thought this would be a great support for our ILTA special interest groups - we will have the benefit of all this international expertise!

Hi Eamon and Jen
Looking forward to the launch - I think cloudworks could be a reallly useful resource to help share and discuss things for the ILTA community and as you say a way to expand and connect internatioanally.

Jen would be happy to brainstorm with you guys about how you could best use cloudworks for the next conference. Have a look also at the cloudscape for a conference I was at the week before last http://cloudworks.ac.uk/index.php/cloudscape/view/1890

Thanks, Grainne. We are in the planning stages for the conference (this year in Athlone on 21/22May) and so this is a timely offer.

No problem Jen will be useful for us too in terms of honing our understanding of how the site can be used in different ways.
