This document discusses the concept of Web 2.0 and how libraries can utilize various Web 2.0 tools and technologies. It defines Web 2.0 as services that allow users to collaborate and share information online through social media sites, wikis, communication tools, and tagging. It then provides examples of how libraries can use blogs, social networking, bookmark managers, wikis, instant messaging, podcasting/videocasting, and more to better engage with patrons, provide services, and remain relevant in the digital age. The document stresses that libraries must embrace these new tools to stay connected with current and future generations of library users.

From Wikipedia: “a … second- generation of Internet-based services — such as social networking sites, wikis, communication tools, and folksonomies — that let people collaborate and share information online in ways previously unavailable.”

How do I make time for new stuff?
Finding Time
Changing focus • Finding time vs willingness and priority • You have to want to change • change job
Schedule your time
Emerging Trends, 2.0, and Libraries
Granting time • give time - for reading, playing, learning, creating • send staff to formal training • practical training for staff - teach what's relevant to your staff and library • buy books for training
Emerging Trends, 2.0, and Libraries
Show Admin... • the numbers - explain your plan, set goals, project results • the money - as in $0 spent • the participation - real customers adding real value to the library • the missing piece - show how it fits into organizational plan
Yikes! My boss says I need to learn this • 15 minutes a day • start with your interests • find some blogs to read • leave comments • Work through a Learning 2.0 plan
Where to start? • blogs: • blogger.com or wordpress.com • what are you going to write about? • Wikis: • PB Wiki • use it for your next committee project
Where to start? • IM • sign up for AOL Instant Messenger • Use Meebo to chat with co-workers (or me!) • Social Networks • Get a FaceBook account • friend other librarians • Podcasting and Videocasting • think of a reason and a goal, then go for it! • Use whatever’s handy - digital camera video is fine
