The Browser, the User and the Library (How to to be in between)

the BROWSER the USER & the LIBRARY

What are we going to do?
This practical workshop will demonstrate the use of Web 2.0 technology to empower users and librarians.
During a hands-on session, participants will work with these tools.
You will develop a library Toolbar, tailor-made services via personal start page software like Netvibes, making use of RSS-feeds, Widgets and Browser extensions

Basic Mindset …
(Almost) everything is possible for users á nd libraries
The user (customer) decides and chooses which services & resources to use. It is unimportant for him where they come from, the library, free web stuff from publishers or other commercial parties.
Everything will keep changing

Not : Come and get it here.
Yes : Choose yourself, take it with you, into your own environment
Share, coolaborate, educate & training & pratice
Stay alert & aware of what is possible, and what users are doing, engaging themselves in …
“ ToolBox” : Take-Away & Tailor-made”

Developments & trends
Even more web-based
Mobile internet
On-going invidivualisation & personalization, but also…
(Social) Networks get bigger, better, evolving
