Web 2.0 Tips

I thought this blog post from the Librarian in Black was worth sharing: Ten Social Tips for Libraries. The most worthwhile advice, in my opinion, are tips #2 and #10. In #2, she advises us to keep all of our blogs, wikis, Facebook accounts, etc. up-to-date. After all, if we're going to call ourselves "information specialists" we best keep that information current and accurate! And likewise, #10 advises librarians that it is okay to delete accounts that you are not using. Hey - you don't know if a Web 2.0 tool is going to be a good fit for you unless you give it a try. But, if it doesn't fit and you aren't keeping it up-to-date...get rid of it and move on.

I recently visited the California Curriculum Connections wiki, sandbox portion and saw your post. Since it said that you were in the summer PSLA library 2.0 class, I thought I would take a look at your website that is a wiki. I was very impressed with your library web page. Did you make it from what you learned in this course? Awesome, you are my inspiration. Bookerti.

Thanks so much, Tina! You made my day! Indeed, what I've been learning and discovering through the Library 2.0 class has really improved my library wiki. That's the best thing about this class - having the opportunity to network and share with other librarians.
Thanks again!
