7Side seminar
Hi
We've been very fortunate in getting our friends at 7Side to agree to run a seminar for us on "The Companies Act 2006 and the effects on Companies House"
This is a seminar they have run for both CLIG and BIALL recently where, in both cases, it was very well received
This is taken from CLIG's site:
CLIG's Companies Act Seminar
Last night Chris Sollars, HR & Training Director from 7Side, led 30 CLIG members through the implications of the recent changes to the UK company filing regime. Around 30 people heard how the apparently subtle changes will have consequences: directors' service addresses, permissible names, reduced shareholder information. On an operational level Chris also provided a list of the known issues with Companies House information (like random insertion of middle names into officers details... the mind boggles!). And I can see myself becoming familiar with IN01s before long. I'd like to say thanks again to Chris for accepting our invitation to speak.
The 1 hour seminar, which will commence at 12.30 pm in the Boardroom at Cobbetts in Birmingham on Monday 22nd February, is free to attend.
Please let me know if you intend to be there to assist with the provision of drinks
Regards
Phil

Web 2.0 event in Birmingham
Back by popular demand, new location, the Commercial, Legal and Scientific Information Group invites you to:
Web 2.0 - the truth behind the hype
Monday 18 January 2010, Hammonds, Rutland House, 148 Edmund Street, Birmingham B3 2JR.
Doors open 6pm, 6.30-8pm
What is web 2.0 and what isn't it?
[Web 2.0] is an "architecture of participation" -- a constellation made up of links between web applications that rival desktop applications, the blog publishing revolution and self-service advertising. This architecture is based on social software where users generate content, rather than simply consume it, and on open programming interfaces that let developers add to a web service or get at data. It is an arena where the web rather than the desktop is the dominant platform, and organization appears spontaneously through the actions of the group, for example, in the creation of folksonomies created through tagging." Wired magazine, 2005
"The promoters of Web 2.0 venerate the amateur and distrust the professional. We see it in their unalloyed praise of Wikipedia, and we see it in their worship of open-source software and myriad other examples of democratic creativity. Perhaps nowhere, though, is their love of amateurism so apparent as in their promotion of blogging as an alternative to what they call 'the mainstream media.'" Nicholas Carr on his blog Rough Type 2005
So who is right? In this seminar Karen Blakeman, Independent Information Trainer and Consultant at RBA Information Services, and Phil Duffy, Information Services Manager at Hammonds LLP will debate the pros and cons of using web 2.0 tools and technologies. This event was sold out and highly rated by attendees in London earlier this year.
There will be a networking reception after the event.
BOOKING DETAILS
All seminars are £10 for CLSIG (and ALLICE) members, £15 for non-members and half-price for the unemployed. To book or for more information please email events@clsig.org.uk.
Cheques should be made payable to CLSIG and sent to Irena Valouchova, Denton Wilde Sapte LLP, One Fleet Place, London, EC4M 7WS or DX242 City. Please note that refunds are only available up to a week before the event.

ASLIB Midlands - Using Second Life
ASLIB Midlands
Using Second Life
WEDNESDAY 26 NOVEMBER 2008 2.00 PM TO 4.30 PM
BIRMINGHAM CENTRAL LIBRARY
This half day event aims to help library and information professionals understand the uses of Second Life (SL), and to develop SL skills. In the first session Vicki Cormie, Lyn Parker and Sheila Webber will talk about their experiences of using SL for teaching, libraries and Continuing Professional Development. They will highlight some applications in different sectors, but with a particular focus on Higher Education. In the second part of the seminar delegates will have hands-on sessions in SL, with a choice of two options. SL beginners will get the chance to learn basic skills in a friendly environment, and those with more experience will discuss and explore some of the opportunities for information professionals.
Vicki Cormie is an Academic Liaison Librarian at the University of St Andrews. Her interest in Second Life began 2006 on a purely social basis when she found it was a great place to meet up virtually with real life friends. However she discovered the huge educational potential that it has and is now doing virtual teaching for a second year. In 2008 she was one of the founders of Minerva, the first island belonging to the University of St Andrews where she is currently developing an exhibition space to show off some of the treasures of the University Library's Special Collections.
Lyn Parker is the Quality and Development Team Manager at the University of Sheffield Library. Maggie Kohime (Lyn’s atavar in Second Life) was created in May 2007. Maggie is involved with supporting students in Second Life and participating in virtual seminars within the Centre for Information Literacy Research. She has written various articles and presentations on her experiences.
Sheila Webber is Senior Lecturer in the Department of Information Studies, University of Sheffield, and Director of the Centre for Information Literacy Research. Her current focus for research and teaching is information literacy, and she is an internationally invited speaker in this field. Sheila is also active in exploring Web 2.0 applications and has been teaching in Second Life (first year undergraduates and postgraduates) since October 2007, under her SL name Sheila Yoshikawa. She is owner of the Second Life island Infolit iSchool and a member of the Educators’ Coop.
Cost: £35 Aslib members ; £45 non-members.
We have 8 free places for Aslib members willing to serve on the Branch committee for 1 year. See our website www.aslibmidlands.org.uk for details.

Sue Hill session
Sue Hill is visiting Birmingham on 23rd October and has offered to run a lunchtime session for ALLICE members on that day
It's a bit close to the EIA event, unfortunately, but it would be good to set something up if we could.
Sue has suggested a session based on areas such as changing information management roles in law firms and recruitment trends in legal information.
Can you say if you would be interested in attending this session and, if there is sufficient interest, we'll firm things up with Sue and look for a venue.

Proposed Company/Business Information event
At the recent ALLICE meeting it was felt that we should investigate the possibility of setting up some form of Business/Company Information training for members.
I was asked to request that members register their interest (or otherwise) in this idea before I approached organisations/individuals with a view to developing this idea
Can you say, then, whether you would be interested in a dedicated session, possibly along the lines of the EIA event, that covered access to, and use of, sources of company and business information.

ASLIB EVENT - COPYRIGHT: LIFE AFTER THE GOWERS REVIEW
ASLIB MIDLANDS
COPYRIGHT: LIFE AFTER THE GOWERS REVIEW
THURSDAY 25 SEPTEMBER 2008 1.30 PM TO 4.30 PM
BIRMINGHAM CENTRAL LIBRARY
The Gowers review was the most far-reaching review of copyright since the current Act was passed twenty years ago - before the digital revolution. It attempted to address the issues raised by the changes in how we can create, store, copy and publish information. The Government has accepted the report and the process of implementing it is now under way. The first major exercise is the review on copyright exceptions, which is due to result in changes to the law next year.
These changes could affect us all in our professional lives. This half-day workshop is an ideal opportunity to find out in advance what the impact is likely to be and to plan for it. Find out -
What the issues are that Gowers addressed and what's now proposed
How it will affect users
How it will affect teaching and research
How it will affect libraries
The players in the game
What will happen next
The workshop will conclude with a question and answer session where participants can ask questions and share knowledge and information.
Workshop leader: Mike Heaney
Mike is Executive Secretary of Oxford University Library Services and deals with a wide range of issues including the quasi-legal aspects of data protection, freedom of information and copyright. He is CILIP's academic libraries representative on the Libraries and Archives Copyright Alliance (LACA), which brings together the UK's major professional organisations and experts representing librarians and archivists to lobby in the UK and Europe about copyright and related rights. In that capacity he has helped to shape LACA's submission to the Gowers review, and to the current consultation on copyright exceptions.
Cost: £35 Aslib members ; £45 non-members.
We have 8 free places for Aslib members willing to serve on the Branch committee for 1 year. See our website www.aslibmidlands.org.uk for details.

VISIT TO MARY SEACOLE LIBRARY, BIRMINGHAM CITY UNIVERSITY
ASLIB MIDLANDS
VISIT TO MARY SEACOLE LIBRARY, BIRMINGHAM CITY UNIVERSITY
THURSDAY 17TH JULY 2008 2.00 PM TO 4.00 PM
This FREE half-day visit is an opportunity to visit this stunning new library - one of the largest specialist health libraries in the country. As well as admiring the building there will also be the chance to learn about the wide range of electronic support services offered to students and to see a virtual ward with virtual patients.
Birmingham City University's newest library, the Mary Seacole Library, was officially opened on 27th June 2006. Located on the Edgbaston campus, the library occupies the whole ground floor of the state-of-the-art Seacole building which was awarded a Built in Quality award, for the Education category, at Celebrating Construction 2007.
The library was named after the pioneering nurse and heroine of the Crimean War – Florence Nightingale without the (mythical) lamp! It serves more than five thousand nursing and midwifery staff and students of the Faculty of Health and is part of a £30 million development at Birmingham City University.
This is the first library in the country to have a LiveReader, a machine designed specifically to help students who are either visually impaired or dyslexic. The machine uses a touch screen combined with CCTV technology to scan text, allowing it to be manipulated by changing text size, font and colour, and it will also read the text aloud.
Further innovations have included the launch of a 24 hour electronic enquiry service – Ask the Library. In 2007 the Mary Seacole Library piloted the use of RFID technology, which combined with self-issue and self-return, has greatly improved the ease of use of the library.
The Mary Seacole Library is in Westbourne Road, Edgbaston, Birmingham, B15 3TN, about 2 miles west of the city centre and is on a number of bus routes from the centre. For directions and further details see http://www.library.bcu.ac.uk//whatswr.htm.
And why not combine your visit with a trip to Birmingham’s botanical gardens, just across the road? (http://www.birminghambotanicalgardens.org.uk/)

VISIT TO MARY SEACOLE LIBRARY, BIRMINGHAM CITY UNIVERSITY
THURSDAY 17TH JULY 2008 2.00 PM TO 4.00 PM
This FREE half-day visit is an opportunity to visit this stunning new library - one of the largest specialist health libraries in the country. As well as admiring the building there will also be the chance to learn about the wide range of electronic support services offered to students and to see a virtual ward with virtual patients.
Birmingham City University's newest library, the Mary Seacole Library, was officially opened on 27th June 2006. Located on the Edgbaston campus, the library occupies the whole ground floor of the state-of-the-art Seacole building which was awarded a Built in Quality award, for the Education category, at Celebrating Construction 2007.
The library was named after the pioneering nurse and heroine of the Crimean War – Florence Nightingale without the (mythical) lamp! It serves more than five thousand nursing and midwifery staff and students of the Faculty of Health and is part of a £30 million development at Birmingham City University.
