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.
