button Awards scheme raises web profile in Hampshire
Hampshire's Hantsnet Awards ran for the first time in 2002 and were a runaway success. With over 500 entries across 9 categories, the awards did much to raise web-awareness, engage the community, and encourage business and the community to go online. Julia Herron describes the project.
button Webcasting
Webcasts offer considerable potential to widen public participation in the democratic process. They also have much to offer to making councils open and accessible. Des Farrington looks at developments across the UK and identifies some of the issues which arise.
button Creating websites for e-citizens
UKOLN's third annual workshop for Public Library web managers focused on the e-government agenda. The message which came through loud and clear was that websites absolutely must be developed from a user perspective. Penny Garrod reports.
button Getting clever with style sheets
To add a bit of interest to a web page editors often turn first to languages and scripts. But style sheets also have their uses in this respect. Goff Sargent shows us how.
button Leicestershire Parish Councils Get Online
UK parishes sometimes seem to have been quite forgotten in the headlong rush to 2005 and e-Government for everyone. In fact, good parish council websites are not difficult to find. But many other parishes still have no website to speak of, and where local enthusiasm does flourish, the chances of a website surviving an enthusiast's move out of the village are rarely better than even. Jo Turner looks at work being done by the Leicestershire Rural Partnership to develop and sustain good practice in this area.
button EPI 2002 Scotland : conference report
SPIN's third Scottish conference on 27 November was - like its predecessors - a highly successful event. Delegates attended from a wide range of organisation across Scotland along with a scattering of hardy travellers from as far afield as southern England and the Channel Islands. Feedback has been overwhelmingly favourable and planning is already underway for the fourth EPI Scotland conference later this year.
