Library Technology Reports; Web 2.0 and Libraries

Yay! Our copy of the newest Library Technologies Reports arrived, and its chock-full of good stuff.

Although I think it would be especially useful for libraryfolk who are new to these technologies (or to tech-savvy libraryfolk trying to explain these technologies to their administrators), there are enough useful tidbits (and references) in this slim volume to please those who are already familiar and comfortable with “social software” like blogs, wikis, IM, and Flickr.

I plan to go through our copy and mark it up for the stuff I want to do in our library to discuss with our library’s director.

Not only is the content excellent, but Michael Stephens’ writing style makes the content easily accessible to any and all who approach it with an open mind.

If your library has been waiting for the right time and resources to get you started using these sort of tools, here it is.
