Web 2.0 an attitude more than a technology
collaborative in nature
interactive
dynamic; perpetually “beta”
blurred line between creation & consumption of content
Personal web pages  blogs
Text-based tutorials  streaming media applications
Taxonomies  folksonomies
Q&A email reference  instant messaging, virtual reference
OPAC  personalised interface
“ Web 2.0 is a matrix of dialogues, not a collection of monologues” Jack Maness, Webology
EBLIP Web 2.0 EBLIP & Web 2.0 MLA SNS Survey Australian Survey

Library 2.0 62 views and 7 definitions
October 2005 - the term “Library 2.0” coined
By January 2006 - 62 views and 7 definitions were collected. These include, Library 2.0 is :
not about technology
all about technology
a new name for ideas librarians have been discussing for quite some time
means making your library’s space (virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative and driven by community needs
a more intensive way of sharing all the resources that the library already offers
Walt Crawford, Cites and Insights

Library 2.0 user centered change
“… seeks to break down barriers: barriers librarians have placed on services, barriers of place and time and barriers inherent in what we do ”
Michael Stephens, tametheweb.com
“… is where the user is, when the user is there”
Stephen Abram, SirsiOneSource
“ Any service, physical or virtual, that successfully reaches users, is evaluated frequently, and makes use of customer input is a Library 2.0 service”
Michael Casey & Laura Savastinuk, Library Journal

Librarian 2.0 …
… plans for their users – proposals based on user needs and wants
… embraces Web 2.0 tools – building connections online wherever user are (beyond library website)
… controls technolust – technology is put to the test – does it meet users need in a new or improved way?
… makes good, yet fast decisions – brings evidence to the table for from scholarly journals and blogosphere
… is a trendspotter – reads outside the profession and watches for the impact of technology on users and new thinking on business
… gets content – future of libraries guided by how users access, consume and create content

Librarian 2.0 …
… listens to staff and users when planning,
… tells the stories of successes and failures , learns from both, celebrates those successes,
… allows staff time to play and learn, and
… never stops dreaming about the best library services.
Michael Stephens, NextSpace

EBLIP and Web 2.0 friends or foe? EBLIP Web 2.0 EBLIP & Web 2.0 MLA SNS Survey Australian Survey Reflects back on the evidence base. EBLIP Looks beyond standard practice seeking innovation. WEB 2.0 Asks Qs first - a focused Q is the foundation of EBLIP Acts first, and asks (or apologises) later. Subject to technolust Constrained by research literature removed from the “real world” (?)

EBLIP and Web 2.0 best available evidence EBLIP Web 2.0 EBLIP & Web 2.0 MLA SNS Survey Australian Survey

We’re all talking 2.0, but where’s the evidence?
What people are doing
What makes a difference
What’s not working
What can’t work
MLA Social Networking Software Survey EBLIP Web 2.0 EBLIP & Web 2.0 MLA SNS Survey Australian Survey

MLA survey earlier this year – 495 responses
http://sns.mlanet.org/blog/
Interesting posts about blocked sites
Raised various discussion topics, around age, who is doing what etc
MLA Social Networking Software Survey EBLIP Web 2.0 EBLIP & Web 2.0 MLA SNS Survey Australian Survey

Australian Health Librarians and Web 2.0
Want to find out who we are and what we do
First survey of its kind in Australia
Know that more people are using L2.0 tools
Confined by MLA survey terms
Results early in the New Year

Later hearing about some ‘mature’ technology happening in our libraries – we’ve been talking about this for years now
Work out where to put our energy, what to fight for
YouTube currently the most-blocked site – what if we want to use it to share training videos?
Facebook – what’s the point? But I love my igoogle, and think that zoho has real potential

Dilbert

Personal reflections:
Integration of journals with CIAP / more seamless full text integration (eg DOIs, WebCite)
Integration of OPACs with mainstream search engines
Integration of Amazon etc with OPACs
Tic toc project for journal TOCs

EBLIP & Web 2.0 can work together
What the MLA Social Networking Software Survey did
Please contribute to the Australian Health Librarians and Web 2.0 survey
