Some specifics on Research 2.0 Communities & collaboration powered by web 2.0 Resources: creating, storing, organising, sharing, exchange, distribution, browsing, searching, re-use, enrich, re-create … Faster, more efficient, greater competetiveness, repeatable, more productive … Enables open feedback and reviews of work A machine-understandable format allows others to take the data and analyze it independently

Communities & collaboration powered by web 2.0

Resources: creating, storing, organising, sharing, exchange, distribution, browsing, searching, re-use, enrich, re-create …

Faster, more efficient, greater competetiveness, repeatable, more productive …

Enables open feedback and reviews of work

A machine-understandable format allows others to take the data and analyze it independently

We see the Scientists looking for it…

Do we see the libraries look for it as well? The question is not whether the shift is going to happen, but how fast? It will change the behaviour of researchers, new ways of thinking and operating; we should adapt Libraries: communicate, collaborate, cooperate, facilitate, support learning & research

The question is not whether the shift is going to happen, but how fast?

It will change the behaviour of researchers, new ways of thinking and operating; we should adapt

Libraries: communicate, collaborate, cooperate, facilitate, support learning & research

Key Points Communication between researchers and librarians Play a role in the exchange and sharing of research-based information in social network technologies Re-define the library, services, it’s systems to reach: Visibility, Findability, Searchability and Accessibility Branding and marketing the library

Where do Libraries and Research meet? Can we get our content into any platform at the right time, in the right way to be used by scientists, researchers and students? Not just in the library website, or the organization portal, or the VLE, but also … Get out to where the researchers are—social networking & Virtual (Research) Environments

More Reasons not to ignore Social Networks Connection, communication, collaboration, consultation Discuss & share information (articles, photos, videos, cases, data, methodologies) Q&A, rapid response (sometimes), serendipitous discovery Global, international connections & opportunities Find employment & research opportunities Emerging trends, topics, medications, treatments, insights in your field Online Social Networks in Healthcare & Libraries PF Anderson, Emerging Technologies Librarian, Health Sciences Libraries, pfa@umich.edu

Connection, communication, collaboration, consultation

Discuss & share information (articles, photos, videos, cases, data, methodologies)

Q&A, rapid response (sometimes), serendipitous discovery

Global, international connections & opportunities

Find employment & research opportunities

Emerging trends, topics, medications, treatments, insights in your field

Let’s look at two things Re-define the Library, Services, it’s Systems to reach: Visibility, Findability, Searchability and Accessibility: Branding and marketing the library SIMPEL APPROACH: User environment = browser & internet Simpel tools, low cost (or free)& high impact! Browser Tools -> Toolbars, Widgets etc

Re-define the Library, Services, it’s Systems to reach: Visibility, Findability, Searchability and Accessibility:

Branding and marketing the library

Power to the Users (and Librarians…) Web 2.0 technologies offer everybody the power and tools to create and mash-up information to their needs Opportunities practically INVITE users to engage They are doing it. We should join them!

“ Anything can happen”

User chooses and creates

It’s no threat, but an additional, supplementary

If the user can do it himself, the library should have done it before, as a service
