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

I think that Jönköp University Library vodcast is the most effective. Obviously, this particular vodcast, is very user friendly and highly effective. The length of time, filming, editing, and the entire contents, are sharp and perfect. I believe this vodcast was created by professional and talented people. This vodcast is similar to an immigration instructional video shown on an airplane before landing.

Blogging will help me remember concepts I’ll be learning in this class.  Secondly, it will give me the practice needed to become a better writer/contributor in most Web 2.0 applications.  With practice, I will become more confident as a blogger/writer (I hope).   I think blogging also fosters open communication and feedback-- two

What 2.0 means to me there are no closed doors. When I was growing up (I lived in Connecticut) the local library closed at 5 pm. Since both parents worked until after 5, the library and I never met. In addition, in honesty when I did get to the libraries the buildings were musty, things were in an order I could never seem to get and the librarians looked as interested in helping as if I had asked them how to get away with a crime.

After going over this week’s materials, I realize that I am connected and have even become dependent on many social software tools. The fact that I can check rankings/ratings on pretty much everything has dramatically changed my life! Sometimes I feel like I can’t watch a movie without first checking the reviews on RottenTomatoes.com or Movies.com. I rarely buy a book without finding out what readers from Amazon.com and other sites have said about it.
