BEYOND LIBRARY 2.0: BUILDING COMMUNITIES, CONNECTIONS, & STRATEGIES
Whether you call it Web 2.0, as first mentioned in 1999 but popularized by Tim O’Reilly in 2005, Web services, social media, or a new platform, social computing is enabling librarians and information professionals to interact with their clients and communities in new and exciting ways. New tools and processes have ignited creative integrated content mashups, specialized and personalized services for community segments, and exciting new techniques for dealing with voluminous information flows. Our conference theme, Beyond Library 2.0, captures leadingedge online initiatives and innovations in all types of information enterprises, tools and techniques for enhancing user-friendly digital information flows, information discovery and visualization methods for dealing with today’s information overload, building new communities and supporting online connections in engaging ways, and more.
