Big Picture 2.0
Have you wondered how all the hype surrounding Library 2.0 / Web 2.0 actually works together to help instruct our patrons? The website Free Government Info has a post about an online Government Documents course taught at San Jose State which uses Web 2.0 tools (in addition to Blackboard) to help instruct students through the use of social bookmarking, Google maps and apps, and even YouTube . While it is not necessarily specific to patrons, the ideas give a big picture view on how to incorporate Web 2.0 tools into our instruction frame of mind. I think some of these ideas could be used with bibliographic instruction or even library promotion. At this point I prefer hearing about how people are interweaving all these web tools instead of just about the new killer app that has come down the pike.
So how are you using Web 2.0 in your library and more importantly is it making a difference?
