I’m giving a presentation about Web 2.0 and Library 2.0 later on this week at the DUG/HUG (UK) Conference 2006 and I’m wanting to demo some of the great things libraries have done with Library 2.0 and Web 2.0. In particular, I’ve got one slide that has two spare bullet points of space left and I can’t decide what to put there…
Here’s what I’ve got already:
- Westmont Public Library – publicises new books using Flickr
- University of Connecticut – staff documentation & info stored in a wiki
- Ball State University – recruiting students via weblogs
- Dowling College Library – podcasts of library and local information
- Birkbeck College Library – RSS feed of library news
- Plymouth State University – Casey Bisson’s Weblog OPAC
- ?
- ?
I’ve no idea if anyone will read this blog post in time, but if you can come up with one or two more great examples of libraries doin’ it for themselves, please post a reply! You’ve got exactly 12 hours before I need to finalise the presentation and get the handouts printed — the clock is ticking!
I reserve the right to cherry pick two of the best responses (that’s assuming I get any!) and in return you’ll get to have your name in lights …well, projected on a screen during the presentation 😀
Cheers in advance 🙂
