Introduction

Who Are We?

Starting Point

What Are Our Goals &Targets for this Hands-on Workshop?

The starting point

We want to learn from each other. Let’s talk and work on new things together and share our knowledge.

It’s not about HOW we are doing things or what exact tools to use, but it’s all about the main fact that we CAN do all these things.

We do not know every possible way to use web 2.0 tools. There are simply too many, and they keep changing & developing.

We choose on a pragmatic basis, looking for applied use .

Practical approach, as much hands-on as possible

The development of improved library information systems will always remain the core business of any serious library organization.

We learn every day, just by doing and keeping an open mind .

At The End Of The Day … “Goals”

We expect you to walk-out of here with the feeling :

that almost “anything is possible” for users and libraries

That users can & will decide what to choose from services offered to them, from libraries, but also from (free) web-tools and publishers.

That things will keep changing

Make a website together that shows web 2.0 & library 2.0 on TICER 2008 and related info

2. Web 2.0 Power

Interactivity, Connectivity, Interoperability, Social

Visibility, Findability, Searchability : “Saturation”

Library 2.0

Browser + Web 2.0 Applications + Connectivity

Harness the library user in both design and implementation of services

Library users should be able to craft and modify library provided services

Harvest and integrate ideas and products from peripheral fields into library service models

Continue to examine and improve services and be willing to replace them at any time with newer and better services.

(from the Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_2.0 )

“ The Web is Ours”

User chooses and creates

It’s no threat, but an additional thing, supplementary

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

Play a role –as Library/Librarians in innovation in education, research, projects.

“ Collaboration is King”
