http://www.ariadne.ac.uk Ariadne is a Web magazine for information professionals in archives, libraries and museums in all sectors. Since its inception in January 1996 it has attempted to keep the busy practitioner abreast of current digital library initiatives as well as technological developments further afield. It concentrated originally on reporting in depth to the information community at large on progress and developments within the UK Electronic Libraries Programme (eLib), covering matters such as information service developments and information networking issues worldwide. It now additionally reports on newer JISC-funded programmes and services as well as developments in the field of Museums, Libraries and Archives within the UK and abroad. en-gb (C) 1996-2008 - Ariadne (University of Bath) and original authors 2008-07-30 ariadne@ukoln.ac.uk http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/icon/small-icon.gif http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/ http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/brace/ Jenny Brace explains why giving time to versioning within a repository is worthwhile and outlines the best practice to implement. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/conole/ Gráinne Conole reflects on the implications of Web 2.0 for education and offers two new schemas for thinking about harnessing the potential of technologies. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/cooper/ describes how Loughborough University Library integrated a number of collections of journal back files into their existing electronic environment. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/gatenby/ Janifer Gatenby identifies criteria for determining which data in various library systems could be more beneficially shared and managed at a network level. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/guy/ Marieke Guy examines the benefits and pitfalls of working remotely for employees and organisations. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/houghton-jan/ Sarah Houghton-Jan explores different strategies for managing and coping with various types of informational overload. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/ross/ Tony Ross gives a personal reflection on his intellectual struggle to comprehend the JISC Information Environment. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/search-engines/ Phil Bradley finds it difficult to ignore some of the latest developments from Google – particularly the ones that are actually quite good. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/tonkin/ Emma Tonkin looks at the current landscape of persistent identifiers, describes several current services, and examines the theoretical background behind their structure and use. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/iwmw-2008-rpt/ Adrian Tribe reports on a three-day conference designed for professionals involved in the provision of institutional Web services, organised by UKOLN and held at the University of Aberdeen in July 2008. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/ukmw08-rpt/ Mia Ridge reports on the Mashed Museum day and the Museums Computer Group UK Museums on the Web Conference, held at the University of Leicester in June 2008. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/ie-testbed-rpt/ Paul Walk reports on an 'unconference' for developers working in and around the JISC Information Environment and institutional systems, hosted by UKOLN at the University of Bath in June 2008. http://www.ariadne.ac.uk/issue56/jisc-powr-rpt/ Stephen Emmott reports on a one-day workshop aimed at all those interested in issues relating to institutional Web resource preservation.
