In the last post you had information about the Internet Librarian Conference. You can read interesting feedbacks from the Editors of Information Today in their InfoToday blog. The pictures will give you a glimpse of the atmosphere at the conference and the short comments and links will introduce you to many of the interesting papers presented there.
The Library as Community Commons: The challenge today is how to mix/integrate new technologies with legacy (static) systems. Standard Web technologies can be the “glue” for most 2.0 applications. There are opportunities for libraries to guide the University community. They have taken the lead on introducing many new technologies. They evolved from strength in Web management to blogging, Webcasting, Webconferencing, wikis, Facebook involvement, etc. ...it’s important to match the right 2.0 tools to your situation.
