An important step in any journey of learning is to get familiar with the terms. A good summary of the terms of Library 2.0 is contained in the July/August issue of Library Technology Reports which is available free, full text on our website in Student Reference Center Gold:
Creating conversations, connections, and community.
Library Technology Reports 42.4 (July-August 2006): p6(2).
The issue has many wonderful articles about Library 2.0 technologies.
In the overview you will learn what a blog is, how libraries are recording and posting podcasts, what an RSS feed is and why you might want to publish some of your library information in that format. You'll learn what Flickr photo mashups are and why some libraries allow patrons to create subject tags for their materials.
Stephens is one of the current experts in the Library 2.0 field and has a wealth of knowledge to share.
This is the journey of some of the staff members at my library to learn more about Library 2.0 issues and determine if any or all of them fit with our strategic plan and library mission.
