With the introduction of variable fees Universities have entered what education secretary Ruth Kelly called "a new era". Financial departments have had to find more creative ways to meet the sector's growing competitive demands and those working within universities have had to take a more business-like, customer-focused approach to many aspects of their work as they compete for students.
The Web is changing. It is no longer a phenomenon but has integrated itself
within our culture. However for those creating Web services times are far from stable.
A wide range of Web-based applications continue to be developed, such as blogs, wikis,

cards and now we have Web 2.0, an opportunity for a more sharing, more participative Web?
Is it just hype? Will these progressions make any difference to the way in which we go about
our work? What does Web 2.0 mean to the Institutional Web? This panel session offered three
different perspectives on the potential of Web 2.0 within learning activities - the library
perspective, the commercial perspective and the HE/FE perspective.
