Web 2.0 provides media for social interactions. Already I have experienced some aspects of these in our Wiki Activities, Blog Posts, RSS Feeds, Facebook, and other Social Bookmarks. More are coming as we proceed in this course.
Resources for Monitoring
Resourceshelf: A 21-member RLG Partners Social Metadata Working Group reviewed 76 sites relevant to libraries, and museums that supported such social media features as tagging, comments, reviews, images, videos, ratings, recommendations, lists, links to related articles, etc. More information could be obtained from the full-article on the Website.
Lisnews: Report from lisnews says that libraries and librarians are not a community 'bolt on' service. They are an integral part of a community, they help represent a community and they contribute to the health of a community. That's why cuts to libraries are so dangerous - not just because they deprive people of access to resources, or jobs, or information or pleasure, but because they say 'You don't matter. You are not important.' That's not a good thing.
Classmates' Blogs
Five of my classmates' blogs viewed are those of Sandra, Britta, Wes, Jessica, and Cristal.
