Friday evening I sat on a panel with Professors Sherry Turkle and Nick Tyler (chaired by Prof John Naughton) at the British Library. The question we’ve been asked to consider is whether or not we are too intertwined with technology.

[British Library, Oxford Internet Institute & Web Science Trust] Ethics and the Web
Thursday December 02, 2010 @ 11:44 AM (UTC)I’m tweeting the bits of two days of workshops about the ethics of the Web and the Internet that I find contentious and interesting, and will transpose my thoughts in another post after. First is the British Library’s and Web Science Trust’s Ethics and the Web. The second is the Oxford Internet Institute and Royal Academy of Engineering’s Internet and Ethics seminar.

Thursday September 16, 2010 @ 10:00 AM (UTC)I was delighted to be asked to give a keynote at Science Online at the British Library on Saturday 4 September 2010. Despite nursing a lurgy, I managed to talk with the attendees about about the implications of online social science research questions, and about the British Library’s forthcoming Growing Knowledge exhibition (for which I’m Researcher-in-Residence – for some coverage of that, see JISC’s Digital Content Quarterly (interactive .pdf version) and Times Higher).

[Academic] Growing Knowledge at the British Library
Thursday July 08, 2010 @ 08:24 AM (UTC)Today, the British Library announces its Growing Knowledge exhibition, a nine-month project from October 2010 that I’m involved with as its Researcher in Residence. It’s an exciting role for me; I have the opportunity to help develop the content of what visitors will see when they visit the library’s showcase of the research tools of the future, and I am involved in on-the-ground analysis of what researchers in the field currently use and seek from digital technologies across the academic spectrum.
