Web 2.0 - implications for your library   Phil Bradley http://www.philb.com   SLA 23 rd  June 2007
What is Web 2.0? Web 2.0 is a term often applied to a perceived ongoing transition of the World Wide Web from a collection of websites to a full-fledged computing platform serving web applications to end users. Ultimately Web 2.0 services are expected to replace desktop computing applications for many purposes.   Wikipedia entry
Yes… and? It’s a platform  It harnesses collective intelligence Data can be used and re-used in many ways Users are directly involved with development It’s not limited to a single device A rich user experience Tim O’Reilly ‘ What is Web 2.0?’
Yes… but? “ It’s  vacuous marketing hype” “ Web 2.0 is totally silly” “ Meaningless” “ is made entirely of pretentious self serving morons.” “ a lot of thin but very hot air blown at you by those who are convinced that having nothing to say is by no means a good reason to shut up.”
So…? The Web as a platform Collective intelligence The end of the software cycle Major change in the way we look at things Old wine and new bottles?
It’s all about…
Bringing things together Links Key searches Access to email Page updates To do lists Sharing resources with colleagues Access to sites without visiting them
And that’s just  Pageflakes !
Or  Netvibes Or  Nowsy Or any of a  dozen others …
It’s all about…
Creating web based resources Create websites without technical knowledge Add in content A forum perhaps Access to video A weblog Let others contribute
And that’s just  Zimbio !
Or  Squidoo Or  Wetpaint Or  Wikis
It’s all about…
Search 2.0 Get the results you want… From the websites that you want That you trust Which are authoritative Put them onto your website or weblog Use them and then lose them
That would be: Rollyo Google Custom Search Builder Eurekster swicki Yahoo Search builder
And it would also be: Saving your own RSS searches Displaying them wherever you want Incorporating them into a start page Or onto a web page
 
RSS, Pageflakes, Education
In fact…
It’s all about…
Sharing Bookmarks FURL Del.icio.us Digg And dozens of others Annotations on web pages Clipmarks Wizlite
Sharing Photographs Flickr Documents Google  docs and spreadsheets Powerpoint presentations Slideshare Files Yousendit
It’s all about…
Instant messaging “ Email is for old people” Talk instantly back and forth Share files (or not!) Share webcam discussions Group chat IM from webpages Create chatrooms
Using… Plugoo Gabbly  Chat Meebo  rooms
It’s all about…
Weblogs!
It’s all about…
Social networks MySpace Bebo Facebook
 
It’s all about…
So much more… Training Discovering resources Outreach Networking Podcasting Creation of resources
So why not… Create search engines for year/subject groups Get students involved with a Zimbio group on an aspect of local history? Create a Squidoo lens for teachers? Start a library weblog? Create a school flickr group
Or… A podcast or a radio station, both involving music students A Pageflakes page that you can share with pupils/teachers/colleagues Create del.icio.us or FURL accounts and share them Start a wiki for all the school librarians in the area
Or even Use instant messaging in a homework help club Create a book reading club using LibraryThing, Amazon and a weblog Have a library tour on YouTube
It’s already happening
That’s the Dayton Metro Library in Florida Dance Revolution Tournament Games days Instant messaging of librarians for homework clubs Teen blogs Does it work? Borrowing rates have increased 12% in the last year.
It’s all about…
Change The web as a platform The client as collaborator The info-pro as publisher Beta is forever ‘ Good enough’ is actually good enough Don’t wait until you get it right, just do it It’s about speed
And even more change It’s about responsibility ‘ Radical trust’ Organizations embracing resources Freedom No more ‘you can’t because’ It’s about exploring, playing and learning
It’s all about…
Changing… The way we use the web The way we use information The way we find information The way we do our jobs The way we interact with people The way that we look at everything
FOREVER
