Week 12 Are We There Yet?

Yes we are! It has been a huge effort but looking back - very worthwhile.
Social Networking has certainly "Come of Age" I am fascinated to see the Power House Museum site and the things they are doing there.
The work in the UK for Local Government by attempting to share problems ideas and expertise must be a good thing. We have all tried to get through to Local Govt at various times and most of us are employed by one or two Councils.This idea could give greater transparency there too.
I believe we as Librarians must encourage Social Networking by being involved if possible. In that way take our product to the people in a way they find interesting and easy to understand. If they can can relate to the message it would break down some of those barriers that exist now. As well people have time to browse a message or promotion but may not come into the library just to find out what is happening and perhaps be delayed for some time.
I expect to use a number of the presented methods of communication and ways to access information learned from 2.0 I have also gained an insight into what others are using and why and how they may be presenting information to me in the future.
Thanks All.
