WEB 2.0 Concepts Enrichment Personal data Participation Decentralized User “tagged” or defined Experience Services Remixable Behavior
Library 2.0 Coined by Michael Casey on his blog LibraryCrunch Some library contributors: Stephen Abram John Blyberg Michael E. Casey Jenny Levine Paul Miller Michael Stephens
Library 2.0 Concepts Delivery Constant and purposeful change Adaptation User designed User created Participation User feedback 2-way information Reaching new users
Warnings (or My Thoughts) What do users want? Do we investment in technology and/or time? What do users expect? What are users doing on their own? How can users contribute?
 
Do you recognize RSS?
KSL RSS Feeds
 
RSS Changing Our Patrons Moving away from email & listservs Current Awareness “ Pull” rather than “Push” Sharing everything Privacy? Speed Few years ago…”If not on the Internet, it is not legitimate” Is RSS the next thing patrons use to judge products & services?
Blog Considerations Purpose – Announcements and/or discussion? Open or no commenting? Moderation? Allow tracking/pinging? Spam prevention Single or multiple authors? How often are entries added? Legal considerations (non-profit status, advertising, organizational policies, etc.)
2006 Workplace E-Mail, Instant Messaging & Blog Survey American Management Association: 8% of organizations have business blogs 55% of business blogs ‘face out’ for customers to read Less than 2% of organizations assign a lawyer or other responsible party to review employees’ entries Nearly 2% have fired workers for offensive blog content - including posts on employees’ personal home-based blogs
