Blueprint for ‘green print’ – and paperless reading event - Research Seminar at UEL

University of East London, Docklands Campus on Tuesday

22nd March 2011 commencing 6 p.m. Room EB.G.14

Paper publications and documents have long played a key role in business and education – and to be quite realistic, paper and printing are going to be with us for the foreseeable future. But how can we reduce the environmental impact of printing?

In Climate Change Week, The School of Computing, IT and Engineering at UEL is coming together with the BCS Green IT Specialist Group for an evening seminar on this topic – intended as the first of a series exploring how to reduce the environmental impact of documents, literature and information resources generally.

(It is intended to follow this evening seminar with a future event which will look at how to manage digital documents (and collaboration around them) at the enterprise level, using electronic document and records management systems, content management systems, collaboration software, cloud computing and sound information management methods.)

This presentation will be of interest to all research, MSc, final year undergraduate students and anyone interested in the topic.
