Technology: accessibility v pitfalls







The life of the researcher today is so different to the past with all the social media tools at our disposal- twitter, facebook, linkedin, rss feeds, blogs, bookmarks, aggregators...we got 'em all...and not only that, we've got them on mobile devices so we can use them wherever we are. The iPad fits in your (big) pocket, the iPhone fits in your tiny handbag, even the laptop or netbook fits on your lap on the train. that's so long as it all works.

Put 100 researchers in a few rooms at the British library and they are all going "oops lost my connection"...
