Using Web 2.0 Tools to Enhance Technical Services Work
May 19-20, 2010.
E-forum starts at 9 AM Eastern, 8 AM Central, 7 AM Mountain, and 6 AM
Pacific time and runs until 5 PM Eastern, 4 PM Central, 3 PM Mountain,
and 2 PM Pacific time each day.
Moderated by: Elizabeth Winter, Electronic Resources Coordinator,
Georgia Institute of Technology and Sherab Chen, Coordinator for
Non-Roman Cataloging, Ohio State University
Social software such as wikis, blogs, mashups, tagging, RSS feeds,
instant messaging, Google Docs, etc. have been used successfully for
several years now on the public services side of libraries. This forum
is intended to be a two-day discussion where the following topics, as
well as others can be addressed:
* How can technical services librarians and staff use social software to
enhance their work?
* Are there applications of social software that can "bridge the gap"
and increase communication between technical services and public
services departments in libraries?
* What kinds of information problems do you see in your
library/technical services unit(s) that could be solved by using Web 2.0
tools?
* Are there specific types of social tools you're hoping to learn more
about? Hopefully other libraries can share examples of their
applications of these tools to help you get started.
* How are you (or your library's technical services unit(s)) making use
of social software?

*What is an e-forum?*
An ALCTS e-forum provides an opportunity for librarians to discuss
matters of interest, led by a moderator, through the e-forum discussion
list. The e-forum discussion list works like an email listserv: register
your email address with the list, and then you will receive messages and
communicate with other participants through an email discussion. Most
e-forums last two to three days. Registration is necessary to
participate, but it's free. See a list of upcoming e-forums at:
http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/alcts/confevents/upcoming/e-forum/index.cfm
*To register:*
Instructions for registration are available at:
http://bit.ly/eforuminfo. Once you have registered for one e-forum, you
do not need to register again, unless you choose to leave the email
list. Participation is free and open to anyone.
