Aim
We will consider where information comes from;
how we access it; and what we can expect from IS
imminently and in the future.
Outcome
A better understanding of the sources of the
information we require; how to access them and
the exciting methods which are, or soon will
be, available to do this.

Editor's Notes
Twitter backchannel #itjitUse to comment during the presentation, reminders and feedback afterwards.
Shows that work has changed. Less about what you know more about where you get your information from.Promote discussion, who was using internet 10-15 years ago, who had mobile phones, see how it has changed.Reference BBC article I posted on twitter, Google changing the way our memories work, no longer remember things, but remember how to find things.
Different ways of accessing.Who uses any of these tools? For work or for home?
Top 10 tools for learningPromote discussion on some of these, again who uses them for work etc.
Hot spots to other slidesGives examples and resources of each
