Some thoughts before we start…
• What implications does web 2.0 have on student’s information literacy skills? Are they digital natives?
• How can librarians and teachers use web 2.0 tools creatively and appropriately?
• What staff development issues does web 2.0 present librarians?

The LASSIE Project
• Libraries and social software in education
• Nine month project funded by University of London’s Centre for Distance Education
• Several project partners• Literature review to provide a
snapshot of activity• Five case studies to explore
different technologies• More details on project website:

What is web 1.0?
• Web 1.0 - the user as a consumer
• Web editors created content
• Limited interactivity• Communication via e-
mail• Dial-up connections• Software on PC
![Page 7: Web 2.0 and Information Literacy](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c899874a795950708b4569/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What is Web 2.0
• Using web as a platform for – Communication– Interactivity– Sharing– Storing information
• User generated content- blogs, wikis, social networks
• Always connected
![Page 8: Web 2.0 and Information Literacy](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c899874a795950708b4569/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Some features of web 2.0
• Services rather than software• Hosted remotely / not locally• Social interaction• Inclusion of ‘user generated content’• Tagging• Syndication / feed enabled• Easy to use….

How are librarians responding?
• With enthusiasm and experimentation!• Lots of examples of practical applications• UK still someway behind the US• Staff development an issue• Some librarians have seen it as a threat,
bandwagon, something to be ignored• JISC currently exploring this area with the
TILE project

RSS / news feeds
• Phil Bradley argues RSS underlies web 2.0
• A new way of reading the web• Content brought to you via a reader or
aggregator• Great for keeping up to date• Content can be re-used elsewhere• The BBC have an excellent overview of
what RSS is and how it works

Web 2.0 library catalogues
• Features include:– User reviews and ratings– Tagging of items– Using loan data to make recommendations– RSS capability for example to generate new
book lists
• All linked to overall trend to make library catalogues meet user’s expectations (largely based their use of Amazon)

Libraries and blogging
• Libraries and librarians are starting to embrace blogging
• Increasingly blogs used for Library news – can target specific audiences
• Blogs invaluable for reflection, comments, news, sharing resources
• Requires a more informal written approach?
![Page 22: Web 2.0 and Information Literacy](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c899874a795950708b4569/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Libraries and social bookmarking
• Sites like del.icious allow users to share / access their bookmarks
• Excellent for resource sharing• Several libraries have developed their
own social bookmarking tools• Several libraries using del.icio.us to
maintain lists of internet resources• Flexible, portable, customisable• Studied use of delicious in case studies
![Page 25: Web 2.0 and Information Literacy](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c899874a795950708b4569/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
LSE’s delicious pages

Using delicious in training

Libraries and social networking
• OCLC report suggested libraries didn’t have a role to play in social networking
• Despite this relatively high usage of sites such as Facebook by librarians
• Groups used for professional networking• Pages can be created by organisations• Many library related applications in
Facebook• The jury is still out but read more in
LASSIE’s case study on Facebook.
![Page 28: Web 2.0 and Information Literacy](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c899874a795950708b4569/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Library pages in Facebook

Reading lists and social software: a LASSIE case
study• Used social software to present reading lists
to students as an alternative to paper lists and commercial reading list systems
• A reading list for LSE external programme students was selected for inclusion
• Tested out CiteULike, H20 Playlists, Bibsonomy and LibraryThing
• Piloted with distance learners and feedback gathered
• Students liked online reading lists with book jackets!

Podcasting and information literacy
• Literature review revealed information literacy is a key challenge for distance learning librarians.
• Podcasting offers a new way of developing training materials
• Created an online ‘screencast’ including powerpoint and audio on citing and referencing
• Feedback from students gathered through a survey
• Attracted considerable interest from other libraries
![Page 33: Web 2.0 and Information Literacy](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c899874a795950708b4569/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Other useful web 2.0 tools
• SlideShare – share your powerpoints• Flickr –find images you can use
under a creative commons licence• You Tube – liven up teaching
sessions! • Google Reader or another feed
reader to keep up to date with blogs and other sites with RSS
![Page 35: Web 2.0 and Information Literacy](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c899874a795950708b4569/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
What are our students doing?
• Knowledge of web 2.0 as a concept is pretty much non-existent
• Some are using RSS feeds, but in my experience not many
• They are using Facebook, You Tube, photo sharing websites etc.
• But are they being discerning about the web?
![Page 36: Web 2.0 and Information Literacy](https://reader036.fdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022070304/54c899874a795950708b4569/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

To return to my initial thoughts…
• What implications does web 2.0 have on student’s information literacy skills? Are they digital natives?
• How can librarians and teachers use web 2.0 tools creatively and appropriately?
• Which tools should we use?• What staff development issues does
Web 2.0 present librarians?
