LIBR 246-12: Web 2.0 and Social Networking Tools (Fall 2008)

It was exciting to browse a wide range of vodcasting and screencasting examples, including those provided in our readings; although I was disappointed to find many inactive hyperlinks within Udell’s article. I must admit it was very tempting to try some of the many applications promoted such as “how to use Linky in 90 seconds”! What a powerful medium this is for teaching and learning purposes, and how self-explanatory the web can become, too.

I learned that at when is going to do something, you should do it well. And you should know your audience.  I think it is great that libraries are trying to reach out and touch their communities.  I am even a bigger believer of you (the institution) going to the clientele and giving them what they want or even creating a want in the community.
