Web 2.0 and the Info Pro

Web 2.0 encompasses interactive tools such as RSS feeds, social bookmarking, image sharing, blogs, and wikis. The debate is on about how info pros should/could be using these tools to improve information access and information delivery. To take a peak at the discussion, visit Library 2.0 on Ning.

For those interested in learning more, there are lots of opportunities, including the SLA initiative called 23Things, modeled after the Public Library of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County's 23Things.

For anyone in San Diego CA on October 3, 2008 the local chapter of SLA is hosting an all day seminar entitled Web Services - Embracing the Web as the Library's Core Service Space. Watch the chapter blog for more information.
