- 33. How IWMW Sees Its Role Premier event for members of UK HE institutional Web teams Provide a forum for discussion, debate and sharing of best practices for supporting HEIS in provision of institutional Web services. Ensure institutions are well-positioned to exploit innovations which can enhance their services. Provides a forum for JISC-funded developments to be shared across the community and for feedback to be obtained. Provide a cost-effective national service for the Web management community across UK HE sector. Feel free to give comments on IWMW 2010 blog
- 34. But What of the Future? Possible that cuts and changing priorities could see the sustainability of IWMW questioned Should we: Stop doing it? Reduce length of event? Run it as a virtual or hybrid event? Allow commercial providers to provide alternatives? Look for new business models (e.g. greater sponsorship – the ‘Netsoft lecture’)? Please tell us what you think during the event

Editor's Notes
- We are suffering from the challenges of abundance provided by the Web 2.0 services We are seeing significant changes in how our community is working cf statistics in usage of JISCMail lists
- in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise philosophy at Middlesex was ranked a very impressive 14th out of all philosophy submissions...The university, it seems, has made its decision on the grounds that the department is not financially viable. Accordingly, the university has decided to concentrate its resources in areas where a better return is available."
