Supporting Researcher Engagement With Social Tools - Alan Cann from University of Leicester
Added: Mon 03 Oct 2011 updated: Thu 20 Oct 2011
www.netskills.ac.uk/content/projects/2011/netskills-seminars/alancann.html
In this seminar, Alan Cann of the University of Leicester considers the potential of social tools for researchers, based on both his own extensive experience and those of researchers interviewed as part of a study for the publication "Social Media: a guide for researchers."
Sometimes dismissed as trivial or irrelevant, Alan argues that social tools actually offer researchers an opportunity to improve the quality of their work through an enhanced ability to find, use and disseminate information. He considers how personal networks can help create, curate, filter and amplify relevant information as part of the research process.
