We make targeted presentations given specific examples demonstrating the value to the organisation Kete can be. We take a silo approach and try and bed Kete down into a particular sector before moving onto the next one.<BR/><BR/>Asking for help really worked well for us; our people LOVE helping us with this project. I have presented on the question of how we engaged our community to help with Kete at 2008 VALA conference; the conference paper can be viewed here: http://www.valaconf.org.au/vala2008/papers2008/31_Ransom_Final.pdfJoann Ransomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18108406808852766646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8137713.post-66382437481309417202008-04-10T19:32:00.000-04:002008-04-10T19:32:00.000-04:00I don't know about OCLS, but Horowhenua presented ...I don't know about OCLS, but Horowhenua <A HREF="http://opac.lianza.org.nz/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?bib=174" REL="nofollow">presented at the LIANZA conference last year</A> about their experiences getting content from their community (<A HREF="http://deborahfitchett.blogspot.com/2007/09/kete-horowhenua-community-built-digital.html" REL="nofollow">I blogged</A> the presentation at the time).Deborah Fitchetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12058960370520958818noreply@blogger.com
