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.
