So …
Does Web 2.0 + Library = Library 2.0?
Suggestions• Google, Yahoo, etc have a different mission
to HEIs and different priorities• Separate functionality and figure out what
your core library systems should handle and what other (web) services will handle better
• Don’t rely on YouTube or Flickr as your sole repository of information … but do experiment with their apis
• Accept that the web giants will do some things better
• Learn usability lessons from Web 2.0 sites• Disseminate through Web 2.0 sites
