Unleashing The Tribe: small passionate communitiesGreat synthesis of ideas on participation, social networks and education. Loved the "SAC" example and the "friend wheel" pic. It’s interesting - librarians are definitely connecting and chatting more to each other than teachers (well the teachers that are your friends anyway).2 years ago

Law Libraries Reaching for the Sky: Practical Applications of Web 2.0 TechnologyThis slide only shows the first 7 of 18 steps so here are the 18 that scroll by to the tune of Supertramp’s Take the Long Way Home.
Finding Journal Articles / Legal Info
#1. Go to Library home page
#2. Where is the link to online legal info �
#3. Guess which link to click to find x
#4. Dozens of databases in an A-Z list
âWhat were they thinking?â ï
#5. âWhich one should I try? What does this stuff mean? HeinOnline, LegalTrac, Decisions on CanLII, Index to Legal Periodicals & Booksâ
#6. âI have no idea what database to pick.â
#7. âWhere is LegalTracâ Iâve used that before.â
#8. Okay, picked it but does it have âonlineâ stuff?
#9. Enter some keywords.
#10. Cross fingers, feel lucky.
#11. No results aaargh! OR 1000 results â¦
#12. âWhy canât I limit to Sask/scholarly?â
#13. Sift through the results one by one.
#14. Hereâs a result that could work! ï
#15. Click on âFind Itâ â âaarrghâ no full text
#16. Try again â Yes - this could work!
#17. If lucky, repeat #9-#11 till done.
#18. Otherwise, repeat #4 to #11 till done.2 years ago
