How to stay ahead of the game with Web 2.0
The term Web 2.0 covers a multitude of sins - and many virtues! The terminology and jargon sometimes inhibits the take up of tools that can significantly improve the effectiveness of your services and the way you work. These tools enable you to share presentations to promote your own and your department’s skills and expertise; use RSS to keep you and your users up to date or to publish/republish information; create brief “how to” videos and tours of your library; tap into social and professional networks for research.
