Digital Researcher 2011

The British Library and Vitae ran the Digital Researcher 2011 conference in February to help researchers make the most of new technologies in their research.

In case you were unable to attend, there is a very useful blog with postings relating to the conference. The most interesting posts I think are as follows:
  • Using Twitter at academic conferences
  • Social media: a guide for researchers
  • 10 ways to promote an academic article that you've just published
  • Using social media to support your career
  • Tips for academic blogging
  • CiteULike and other social citation tools
  • Getting started on Twitter
  • Some examples of researchers' blogs
  • Social networking software for researchers
The blog can be found at: http://www.vitae.ac.uk/researchers/315451/Digital-researcher-blog-2011.html Slides for some of the presentations given at the conference can be found via the Digital Researcher Virtual Attendance link on the same page.
