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

I came across this pre-conference presentation that I wanted to share with the rest of you. Steve Lawson is the Colorado College Humanities Librarian. He offers a lot of really great resources if you are interested in further exploring this topic.

How can libraries build community using the tools from this week?

I thought that the Westmont Public Library’s Flickr photostream was excellent.  It contained photos of their remodeling, so community members can track the progress to their renovations.  It had photos from community cultural events hosted at the library.  This makes the library look welcoming and engaged in the community.
 

Which library uses of Flickr do you think are most engaging and why?
