ALCTS webinar: Using Web 2.0 Applications in Technical Services
Description:
This webinar builds on the lively e-forum discussion "Using Web 2.0
Tools to Enhance Technical Services Work" held in May 2010. The
presentation will familiarize participants with blogs, wikis, tagging,
RSS feeds, Instant Messaging (IM), and Google applications, and
demonstrate how they can be used to facilitate communication and
streamline workflows in technical services. The presentation will also
explain how to overcome some of the pitfalls in adopting new
technologies, including "technolust," and examine techniques for
encouraging employees to adopt new technologies.
