I Want My Web 2.0: Reflections on the CS-SIS Web 2.0 Challenge

Abstract

Since Tim O'Reilly coined the term "Web 2.0" in 2004, the Internet has exploded with Web-based applications for communicating, networking, organizing knowledge, and streamlining current awareness. From wikis and RSS to social bookmarking and virtual worlds, Web 2.0 technologies are touching all aspects of the library. As information stewards, law librarians must become capable of assessing and implementing these tools to expand our outreach and educate our patrons about the new social context for information.

Keywords: law librarians, Web 2.0, social networking, wikis, blogs, social bookmarking
