This is a highly practical course looking at Web 2.0 technologies that library and information professionals can use in their organisation to work more efficiently and effectively.
Participants will learn how to promote themselves and their libraries, service or organisation using social networking and other user generated content (UGC) websites.
By the end of the course participants will have:
-
explored Facebook and consider ways of using it
-
created portals using home or start pages
-
constructed search engines

used social bookmarking systems

looked at various new ways of communicating with colleagues
This programme is of interest to any library and information professional who has an interest in web 2.0 technologies and wants to use them within their organisation. Participants should have an email account they can access during the day to validate registration with a variety of resources.
