Social Networking Tools for Engineers & Visit to Ratcliffe Power Station

The AEG recently held an event at Ratcliffe-on- Soar. The event looked at how social networking tools are being used by engineers at an industrial library. Ten people attended the course working for various organisations, in various roles including traditional library roles & knowledge management.

The day started with a presentation by myself on how we are using Social Networking tools, where I tried to share experiences from my workplace (both positive & negative) with the rest of the group. We also had plenty of opportunity to network and share experiences over lunch. Culture, uptake and support from other parts of the business were often seen as barriers to the use of social networking tools.

Lunch was followed by a visit to Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station which seemed to be enjoyed by all despite the heavy rain. I've received good feedback from the attendees and hope some of them will join us at future AEG events.
