  2. About This Workshop • Abstract: • Web 2.0 and the Social Web are terms which are now being used widely. But what do these terms mean? And what, if anything, can Web 2.0 and the Social Web offer to museums, libraries and archives, especially small organisations with limited budgets and technical expertise? • This workshop will attempt to answer these questions. As well as demystifying the terms and the technologies, the workshop will also address the challenges which institutions may face in seeking to make use of Web 2.0 to support the needs of their users.

  3. Learning Objectives • By the end of the workshop participants should: • Have gained an understanding of what is meant by the terms 'Web 2.0' and the 'Social Web'. • Have seen examples of Web 2.0 technologies including blogs, wikis, microblogs and RSS. • Have seen examples of the non-technical aspects of Web 2.0 including the importance of openness and user generated content. • Have seen examples of how Web 2.0 is being used in the cultural heritage sector. • Have explored barriers to the effective use of Web 2.0. • Have discussed ways of addressing such barriers. • Have had the opportunity to develop links and share resources with other participants at the workshop.
