Long Summary
The Web site for the Sixth Institutional Web Management Workshop, which
will be held at the University of Strathclyde on 18-20 June 2002, is now available
at

This year's workshop builds on the successes of previous events. This year's theme
is "The Pervasive Web" and will address a range of topics of concern to Web managers,
ranging from strategic and management issues, implementation issues based on case
studies as well as a number of technical areas.
The workshop will be of interest to people who are involved in running institutional
Web services, including IT and Web Strategy managers, content managers, designers,
software developers, information specialists, support staff, etc.
The workshop will last for 2.5 days. The first two days will begin with a Keynote
Plenary Talk which will provide an insight into national and international developments.
Other plenary presentations will provide case studies on institutional developments
including development of personalised portals, approaches to usability testing
and design, the development of a radical Web strategy, the implementation of
commercial Web-based MIS applications to support teaching in a large FE/HE institution
and an examination of centralised and decentralised strategies for Web management
and development, together with an outline of the implications of new disability
legislation.
As always the workshop will provide a number of parallel sessions, which will
provide an opportunity for participants to contribute actively on topics of interest
to them. Parallel sessions cover topics such as e-strategy, accessibility,
usability, Web site redevelopment, quality assurance, usability of portals,
advertising on Web sites, legal issues, panoramic Web sites, dynamic Web sites,
XML, authentication, metadata and e-prints.
There will also be a number of briefing sessions, including ones on Interoperability
and Learning Standards and Web Standards.
New features at this year's workshop include a panel session on "Avoiding Portal Wars"
and a debate on open source software.
The workshop costs 325 pounds, which includes attendance at the workshop, workshop
materials, the socials events and 3 night's accommodation.
The workshop is suitable for all those involved in managing and supporting
institutional Web services, including managerial staff and Web developers - the
parallel sessions will enable participants to follow their interests, whether
that is managerial, technical or both.
