Who's using Web 2.0 -- Colleges
Here's my results do far:
UW-Baraboo/Sauk County
We’ve experimented a little with Web 2.0 tech here at UW-Baraboo/Sauk County.
I have one professor doing coursecasting, available thru UW Colleges’ coursecasting page; http://coursecast.uwc.edu
We use Meebo.com’s chat interface…and have Chat IDs for MSN, Yahoo, and Google Talk.
We occasionally host images or video from library events on sites like Flickr…not sure
We’ve also added a LibraryThing.com link to our website in order to promote our new additions.
I also created a personal Facebook profile to try to establish a library presence there.
Most of these initiatives began within the past year, and we just chose tools that were recommended in journals, by colleagues, etc. We’re hoping to find new ways to support the campus, and to raise awareness of the services that we offer. We have not done any assessment to date.
UW-Sheboygan
I can’t really identify that UW-Sheboygan Library is using Web 2.0 tools at the present, and we don’t have any concrete plans to implement soon. I believe some of our databases do have RSS-feeds type features, but that’s about it. I would say the largest impediment to greater use is our staff size – just not a large priority with everything else going on. As other campuses implement, we’ll probably pick up ideas/possibilities from them.
UW- Barron County
What Web 2.0 tools are you using?or What tools are you planning to use? I have used RSS feeds – I have few right now. I have found some very difficult to cancel. I use wikis for ALA committees and Flickr for AILA and ALA groups, We also have a list on Amazon’s IMDb and a Google Books new book list. We have a facebook presence but it needs tweaking to be more effective. I plan to have my kids teach me Instant messaging.
When did you start? 2 years ago at least. I was in a meeting at ALA in DC where someone was complaining about our work on the WIKI taking some learning curve time. The meeting was about Native American Tribal libraries. I told them I needed to WIcKIup to get better at it too and everyone broke up laughing.
Why did you choose (or not choose) specific Web 2.0 tools? IT is what we do.
What are you expecting to gain or achieve from these tools? Info saturation
Have you done any assessment on these tools? If so what are the results showing? Planning to assess – have not done much yet.
I emailed the Library Directors at all of the Colleges.
