Social networking

Social networking provides libraries with the opportunity to market services to the community and also with the library itself. It also provides a great way of communicating ideas and opportunities that are available in the library.Also if there multiply library locations these could be connected this way providing easy access for staff and library patrons, it provides an excellent way of communicating without the physical location restricting access.

Google docs

Google docs would be a great tool to share information, co-ordinate a plan of action, and in a variety of other ways.

Mashups

We can be the graphic designers of old. How to personalise the library with interesting local images! There can easily be constant change and the novelty to make our customers enlightened and aware.

Podcasts

What a useful tool for libraries. We can create podcasts to capture our events and involve our communities. No longer will we be thought of as only lending books. We know the multple roles but now we can get it out there!

Slamming the boards

We should be out there selling our knowledge base. We can answer those questions can't we? The obscure, obtuse and all the rest!

Delicious

This is great as each time I go to another computer I loose my favourites. No more!

Wikis of the world

Wikis are great examples of sharing information on all sorts of topics. We'll never have to talk again! However I think there is room for all sorts of ways of information sharing and the world is truly global in its accessibilty.

news of the world

Creating a RSS has beeen a really exciting and worthwhile experience. No excuse for not being up todate on all the news of the world! It is all happening out there and we are a part of it.

The waves are rolling in as we surf through the experience of web 2.0!

Impossible dream

To have an understanding of the terms which are web 2.0 is a powerful tool. To be able to communicate and access information and ideas is the way of the 21st century.

We must embrace lifelong learning and not be overwhelmed by it.

It enhances our lives and creates a more interesting world
