Beware of Geeks Bearing Gifts Web 2.0 from Your Helpful Librarian, Mellanye
What is Web 2.0? “The phrase refers to a perceived second generation of web-based communities and hosted services — such as social-networking sites, wikis and folksonomies — which aim to facilitate collaboration and sharing between users.” --Tim O’Reilly
What’s social networking? • Connecting with others online • Learn from them, not isolated http://www.commoncraft.com/video-social-networking
What’s a Blog? • Some professional, noteworthy • Not all fluff • Push out content early, then lectures explore, apply http://www.commoncraft.com/blogs
What’s RSS? • News/updates come to you • Aggregators save time • Good for TOC’s, funding/search alerts, blogs http://www.commoncraft.com/rss_plain_english
What’s a Wiki? • Many contributors • Good for sites which need lots of input- manuals, grant apps, FAQ’s http://www.commoncraft.com/video-wikis-plain-english
Google docs • Good for grant applications, group projects • Edit in real time • See changes immediately • Chat box on side
Other helpful videos http://www.commoncraft.com/bookmarking-plain-english • del.icio.us – tag webpages • connotea – tag articles & citations http://www.commoncraft.com/photosharing • flickr – tag photos • Tags are public (or private) • You see others, they see yours • Like a recommender service • Web-based, not only on one computer • Save time and stay organized
Mashups • Combine data (maps+sick, fast food+schools, crimes+location)
Other ideas • Hold online office hours • Chat • Adobe Connect (formerly Breeze) • Skype • Use online bookmarks • del.icio.us • Project mgmt. for groups • Google Apps Team Ed.
