Sessions at IWMW 2006 (Institutional Web Management Workshop) on Friday 16th June

previous IMWMWs sessions have focussed on issues such as:

Should we buy or build our CMS?
Which CMS should we implement?
How do we implement our CMS?
How can we measure the impact of our CMS Implementation?
And how do we address The CMS Challenge?
But last year it was claimed that "There is no such thing as a silver bullet" and that a CMS will not solve all your problems. Has the CMS bubble bust? Has content management become content mis-management? In the light of new approaches, such as Web 2.0, and new 'ways of doing things' is there a feeling of disillusionment with 'ye old CMS'? Or does a CMS remain the backbone of a good institutional Web site?

In this debate you will hear the arguments for and against content management systems and will have an opportunity to express your views.

It goes without saying that the Web has changed significantly over the last 10 years and that institutional Web sites have changed with it - just use the Wayback Machine to look back at your own site in 1996 to see what I mean. Such changes have not simply been in terms of style and substance but also in terms of how we expect to interact with, use and re-use the content and services being made available to us. In short, the Web has changed us and the way we learn and work. This talk will look back over the last 10 years and highlight some of the key technical, social, political and legal changes that have taken place and the impact these have had on the institutional Web sites we deliver now and will deliver into the future.
