thewikiman blog was initially a blog about setting up a wiki in Higher Education. There were posts about choosing wiki software, choosing wiki hosting, structuring information, and so on.
Honestly, can you imagine how dull that was?
As I am an Information Professional the idea was that there would also be posts about technologies / conferences / ideas relevant to working in the field. This side of things has taken over, really, and provides most of the content of this blog.

Hello
My name is Ned Potter, and I work for the University of Leeds Library. I’m 30.
<<—- That’s what I look like on the rare occasions that someone takes a picture before I have time to panic about it.
I’m interested in marketing the information profession, in library advocacy, and in emerging trends and technologies. Just like everybody else, eh?
As I work on the LIFE-SHARE Project, I’m also interested in digitisation, both as a means of supporting Learning & Teaching and of preservation.
I sometimes spend time online in other places too:
I currently serve on the Yorkshire & Humberside Career Development Group as a New Professionals Support Officer. If you’re from this region and you’ve got questions or concerns relating to being relatively new to the profession, or have ideas as to what CDG can do for people like you, then let me know – I’d love to hear from you.

I came here because your father hyperlinked you in his blog! (which I’m browsing right now).
I liked his reference to your idea of updates for forthcoming editions of his “Tenor” book. I SHOULD have a few, too!
—- My interest is in operatic tenors who created roles — and while “Gli Operai” is my ‘official’ blog, I should have others where I’m more specific about stuff. But nothing substantiated by serious research, as you wittily put it!
— I think “Di quella pira” SHOULD be from “Tell” — that should lead more crowds to that rather boring Swiss-themed thing by Gioachino!
Cheers!
