Abstract

The Nordlib 2.0 conference is understandably excited about the potential of Library 2.0 and Web 2.0, and will seek to inspire participants with a variety of presentations outlining how the Web 2.0 environment is helping to enrich teaching, learning and research activities within the community.

But are such developments sustainable? What about the risks associated with, say, the use of third party services with no formal contractual agreements? And what about legal concerns, related to privacy, copyright, accessibility, etc.? How should institutions respond to such concerns? Do such the concerns mean that institutions should ignore the benefits which Web 2.0 seems to promise? Or should institutions ignore such conservatism, and be willing to embrace the challenges of the brave new world of Web 2.0?

In this presentation Brian Kelly, a national Web adviser in the UK, will give his thoughts on how higher educational institutions should respond to these challenges.
