researchers to subscribe to regular content from news services
Students can create their own information world
Slide 52
Library 2.0 tools: wikis No preventing its use A good starting
point for research Encourage group work and peer review A good way
to introduce how easy it is to be posting information on the
web
Slide 53
Slide 54
Slide 55
Library 2.0 tools: podcasts Can be used for library
instructions, especially for distance learners Can be effective in
