Topics for discussion

1. Getting Cambridge business into social media (reflecting on past Library House reports)
2. Linking the University with business (the Uni's Corporate Liaison Office, now absorbed into Research Services Division, used to do this - where are we post re-structure?)
3. Breaking out of the Cambridge-only mode of working (compare and contrast to Oxford, London, Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh or Manchester?)
4. Digital inclusion: enabling access and confidence in tech - Katherine Wild, Dave Briggs
5. Collapsonomics - how good things come from bad times - Dougald Hine
6. The Promise of Digital Britain - Alan Moore

WordPress theme avaialable à la Cisco08, IDeA Performance and PSFbuzz for example. I'm not claiming this to be revolutionary or anything, but it can be quite useful. If folk think it a good idea I would be happy to do an Amplified East version?
