The document discusses strategies for creating an interactive student library website using widgets and Web 2.0 tools. It recommends adding widgets that push content like RSS feeds, bookmarks, images and videos to make the site more engaging for students. Examples of widgets that allow students to gather data, discuss, share and collaborate are provided. The document also suggests linking to various Web 2.0 tools on the site to support student activities like brainstorming, organizing, analyzing and sharing information. The goal is to facilitate student knowledge creation and involvement through an interactive online environment.
