Plenary Talk 6:
Publish And Be Damned: Re-purposing In The Real World
This page provides details of the plenary talk on
"Publish And Be Damned: Re-purposing In The Real World".
- Title:
- Publish And Be Damned: Re-purposing In The Real World
- Speaker:
- Jeremy Speller
and Ian Bartlett, UCL
- Abstract:
- Over many years in UK institutions too many people have spent too much time
with too little resource providing for the specificities of parallel publishing
and re-purposing. This talk provides a case study of UCL's approach to integration
between the print and Web worlds for recruitment publications. We will look at
the technical solution whereby database integration with publishing software and
CMS has been the goal and, perhaps just as important, the cultural challenge in
terms of ownership of the processes and copy. We will review lessons learned
from the pilot project - the publication of UCL's Study Abroad Guide - and plans
for the future involving all mainstream recruitment publications.
- Learning Outcomes:
- At the end of the talk participants will have:
- Learned about practical integration technologies for parallel publishing
- Understood the cultural challenges involved in taking forward such a project
- Considered issues relevant to scaling such solutions to the enterprise level
- Special Requirements:
- Standard networked PC together with additional laptop and two data projectors.
- Time:
- This talk took place from 14:00-14:45 on Thursday 7th July 2005.
