Many scholars believe that the Roman Climate Optimum (RCO) was central to the expansion of the Roman Empire. Similarly, some think climatic trends in the centuries after the RCO were in large part responsible for the Roman Empire’s decline and disintegration. This lecture seeks to nuance these differences in climate and society to highlight why broad climatic phases cannot by themselves be used as societal determinants.

Several of the slides from the plenary talks have been made available on the Slideshare.net service using the tag 'iwmw2006'. [2006-11-05]

The slides used in the "Lies, Damn Lies and Web Statistics", "WHS WEB S IT NEWY? - Including Mobile Phone Users in the Loop" and "How to Find a Needle in the Haystack" parallel sessions and the report from the South East regional group on CMSs are now available. [2005-07-13]

The slides used in the 'Democratising the Web: The Revenge of The Non-techie' and 'Inter-institutional Authorisation using Shibboleth: Myths, Lies and the Truth' parallel sessions and the report from the North West regional group meeting on CMS challenges are now available. [2005-07-15]

An audio recording in MP3 format of Stephen Emmott's talk on "Customers, Suppliers, and the Need for Partnerships" is now available. The accompanying PowerPoint file is also available, so that it should be possible to both listen to the talk and view the slides at the same time. It is left as an exercise to any motivated SMIL developer to create a SMIL presentation which automatically links the sound with the slides. [2005-07-18]

Keith Doyle has written a guest blog post for "Brian Kelly's UK Web Focus: Reflections On The Web" blog [2007-06-05]

During Keith Doyle, Salford University talk, delegates will discover how, by taking the information architecture approach as their next step, they can improve the user experience and business benefits. Information architecture gives delegates a framework and benchmarks for managing web provision at an institutional level. This should be an engaging and entertaining talk which would help delegates decide whether a formal IA role is appropriate to their organisation. Helping delegates consider their institutional strategic approach: What is IA? How is the role covered at the moment? Should it be a specific post rather than something that's squeezed in with everything else we do?

This session will be run by Michael Day, DCC, UKOLN, Maureen Pennock, DCC, UKOLN and Lizzie Richmond, University Archivist, University of Bath. Institutional Web sites have become an increasingly important tool for disseminating key institutional information to and between staff, students, researchers and the general public. They are widely recognised as key front-office mechanisms for the communication of important information, but the long-term survival of Web site resources and data with non-transient or enduring value is often overridden by the short-term benefits of on-the-fly Web site management. As a result, even institutions with Web site archiving policies can find themselves falling victim to the so-called digital dark ages and fail to preserve valuable information.
