info literacy & web 2.0
Session KK
Teaching Info Lit with Web 2.0
w/Ken Fujiuchi
Ken commented on the need for librarians to worry about what we are using the tools for, not to worry about the creation of these tools (leave these to the developers who design them)
Characteristics of Web 2.0
--web as a platform
--a social participatory tool; collaborative and designed for contribution
Amazon: good example of Web 2.0
--organized & categorized but not in the cataloging sense --> tagging for browsing
Some common tools
blogs
wikis
RSS
Folksonomies (del.icio.us, Flickr)
social software (MySpace, Facebook)
web-based applications (Writely, iRows)
Blogs
Key point: content first!
You can create a social atmosphere and market your library to people who normally wouldn't go to a library site. Become an access point.
Ken's blog
Wikis
The ideal wiki includes collaborative content creation, with minimal need learning lots of code -- again, the content is most important!
Students can edit content, too!
RSS
Is an open XML format and gives you quick access to content -- here at Geneseo we use RSS to distribute the new books list generated from ALEPH. RSS is confusing to explain, but once you get the concept, it has a lot of potential for eliminating the need for Current Awareness Services.
Folksonomy aka Tagging
Can be simple to use and encourages students to catalog content, albeit with their own keywords and terms.
Social Software
"Identity to identity" interaction -- our students' social space online. Don't post bibliographies! But students appreciate advice! Ken shows us his profile on Facebook -- privacy can be an issue, use a cartoon or an avatar as your public face
Web-based applications
Usually free or low cost. Access is available anytime, anywhere. But -- Keep It Simply Simple (KISS)!
Academic Library 2.0 Concept Model
Library Camp 2006 --> opportunity to get together and talk about Library 2.0
Ken showed everyone the blog -- yay!! Most people didn't know about it :(
Great session -- Ken needed more time!
