Getting started

You must have a plan!

How will this improve library services? Will pupils use it?

Focus on the functionality, not the tool.

Don’t do it alone: Involve library staff and ICT teachers and even pupils.

Enjoy it. Web 2.0 is fun!

Offer trainings for staff and pupils.

Be prepared to make mistakes.

Library 2.0 is not just about technology. We must remember that while technology can be a tool to better serve our users, it is not the final answer to all of our problems. (M. Casey)

It is not a new technology, but a new attitude

Library 2.0 it's all of us
