Steve Musgrave is a PhD research student involved in Telematic research into Community Portals. He is a full time IT Manager at Blackpool and the Fylde College in Lancashire. Formerly a merchant navy Radio/Electronics Officer and design engineer with IMR/ITT. Beyond the professional qualifications he holds a B.Sc (Hons) in Electronics with Computing; an MSc in Information Technology and a post graduate Diploma in Management of Education. With a strong background in the Further Education sector as a Principal Lecturer and Head of Division of Communication Engineering, he transferred to a position in IT Management with Blackpool and The Fylde College to develop and implement a unified college-wide electronic network interlinking the campus sites, buildings and outreach centres. Implementation of a Virtual Learning Environment is currently on-going.

With the ever-increasing quality of third-party tools lowering the barriers for enthusiasts to provide Web-based services for their teams and departments, what's the point in having an insitutional Web development team? Can they provide anything that someone with the time, motivation and a decent tool can't? Should Web Services just be innovating on top of these services (and if so, how?), or should they be disbanded in favour of outsourcing? A short introductory presentation will be followed by a roundtable discussion with sweets on offer to keep our energy up! The session was facilitated by Phil Wilson and Tom Natt, University of Bath.

The University of Bradford Web CMS project began in October 2005 and by the time IWMW 2008 happens we will have purchased our Web CMS and have a new University Web Team in place (just!). "Crumbs - that's taken a long time," you may say! Well, yes - but we know that by the end of the project we will have a Web CMS that suits our organisational needs and is welcomed and accepted by the users, as well as a new resource to assist the University of Bradford in taking its Web presence forward - the University Web Team. So how did we do it? Following on from last year's IWMW 2007 session (People, Processes and Projects - How the Culture of an Organisation can Impact on Technical System Implementation) we will give some insight into why we think our project has continued to be successful - detailing the hurdles we met along the way and how we overcame them - and imparting the knowledge that we have learnt during the project which can help you take your organisation with you and enable you to implement a huge change management project successfully. Hint - it's all about the people! The session was facilitated by Claire Gibbons and Russell Allen, University of Bradford.

Matt Thrower, UKOLN, University of Bath will talk about UKOLN's Web site redesign and the problems involved. Come along and discuss how we solved these and other problems and what lessons could be learned for your institution.

Information on the Institutional Web Management Workshop 2007 social events, the workshop dinner and a drinks reception at the National Railway Museum, are now available. [2007-03-26]

Chris Young, Netskills, University of Newcastle and Paul Trueman, Netskills, University of Newcastle will be looking at accreditation systems. You may be new to a Web-role or you may be more experienced, with a set of useful skills. Either way, increasingly there is a need for recognised individual development and accreditation in order to progress in within your organisation and with your own career.

Michael Webb, IT and Media Services Head, University of Wales, Newport gave a talk about how Web 2.0 technologies are changing the way our staff and students (potential, current and past) relate to one another and our Universities. Embracing these technologies provides a great opportunity to enhance the University experience, but also presents a number of risks and challenges. So how do Universities develop a strategic approach to embracing Web 2.0?
