Featuring One Night Only with Tommy Tonight, a rare live performance of Jackson as Tommy Tonight lip-syncing the Doobie Brothers with a soundtrack directed by Gedeon, the event will discuss the ways drag and kinship are linked, through intergenerational support, grief, and memory, and how participants’ artistic practices allow them to mourn and process loss.

A test page has been set up for testing the Wikalong annotation service. This service is provided in order to allow delegates to create collaborative Web pages for the discussion groups, parallel sessions and plenary talks.

Tactics tend to dominate the daily routine, limiting the time and space available to consider strategies. This workshop aims to explore the distinction between strategy and tactics to help web professionals identify the ends and manage the means by which they are achieved. The session was facilitated by Stephen Emmott, LSE.

In 2007 the University of St Andrews Web Team (of two) was faced with the daunting task of managing the migration of 4,000+ Web pages from 35 individual Web sites into one new Web site within a content management system. Having explored various methods we settled on using mind maps to successfully the complete the task within 4 months. In this workshop we will begin with an overview of mind mapping before sharing what we did and looking at how you can use this tool to efficiently organise and manage your own content. The session was facilitated by Stephen Evans and Gareth Saunders, St Andrews.

Creating good forms is a tricky business encompassing a wide range of disciples (accessibility, usability, security, etc). What's more, the development of bespoke online forms, and their back-end reporting interfaces, can be a huge resource drain for institutional Web teams. This session will tackle these problems by asking 'what do we need to know to make better forms, and how can we better manage form development processes'? As a case study, we will look at how the implementation of a form building and management application has aided the Web team at City University. The session was facilitated by Dan Jackson, City University.

Dan Smith, The University of Southampton will use his experience of rolling out a successful Web CMS to help attendees with potential problems.

Brian Kelly, UKOLN, University of Bath and Steven Warburton, Kings College London will consider community. Members of institutional Web management teams have helped to develop a sustainable community through use of mailing lists, such as the web-support and website-info-mgt JISCMail lists (which are very successful in sharing tips and receiving advice on problems) and participation at the IWMW series of workshops (which provide an opportunity for members of the community to meet, hear about new trends and best practices and to share concerns).

Paul Kelly and William Mackintosh, University of York will discuss various web usage statistics packages.

Andrew Cormack, Richard Dunning and Andy Powell, Eduserv will investigate the relationships between institutional single sign-on, Athens, Shibboleth, the UK Access Management Federation and more recent developments like OpenID and CardSpace and will give participants an opportunity to ask questions of a panel of experts from the community.

Steven Warburton will discuss how the notion of community continues to be recognised as a fundamental aspect within descriptions of shared human activity and group bonding. In his socio-cultural analysis of the work place Wenger defined a particular type of communion, which he termed a community of practice (CoP). The concept of a CoP has been somewhat abused in current literature yet it does provide valuable insights into how communities evolve, behave and sustain themselves. By elaborating dimensions of community such as shared practice, dialogue, legitimate peripheral participation and negotiation of boundaries, Wenger has provided a model that can be applied to a number of differing groups of activity. This talk will explore what we can draw from the work on CoPs, in terms of the role and identity of institutional web manager, one that is inseparable from a field of practice that remains dynamic, fluid and under constant negotiation.

Keith Doyle, University of Salford will facilitate this session. A small group of people are working towards setting up a peer group to share good practise and knowledge. In this session, there will be the opportunity for delegates working to develop University Intranets to share their thoughts on developments around intranets and portals. We will also discuss how the peer group could develop.

Duncan Davidson, Information Manager, University of Abertay Dundee and Donna Wilkinson, Information Specialist, University of Abertay Dundeed will look at their University's development plans, the related projects - University Portal and Information Architecture, where we have been, current work and the road ahead.

Randy Metcalfe, OSS Watch and Brian Kelly, UKOLN gave a plenary on openess and the Web manager. Openness appears to be all the rage: open standards for interoperability, open source for software development and deployment, and open content for sharing knowledge. What brings these phenomena together is a commitment to openness. But how do colleges and universities engage with openness? And more particularly, what does it mean for institutional Web managers.

Universities undertake research through a mesh of partnerships, collaborations and contractual relationships. Major research funding bodies, such as government departments, are increasingly encouraging their contractors to adopt formal quality assurance standards - such as ISO 9001:2000. If you haven't come across this already, you are likely to see it very soon! In this talk John Gilbey, Institute QA Manager, IGER discussed the impact of quality standards on the way Web resources - internal and external - are defined, delivered, managed and reviewed in academic environments. An over-view of the quality requirement is presented, along with some pragmatic suggestions to help you deal with it.
