DESCRIPTION
DOWNLOAD FILE FOR SPEAKER NOTES Two of the recent major challenges to traditional library practice have been evidence-based library and information practice (EBLIP) and Library 2.0, yet these concepts may be put at opposite ends of the innovation scale. EBLIP is concerned with using the best available evidence, and wherever possible – research evidence, to make informed decisions to achieve best practice. Library 2.0 on the other hand, challenges us to look beyond standard practice, “play”, and give new things a go (including the technological opportunities Web 2.0 has presented us). Is there a place for EBLIP in the brave new 2.0 world?TRANSCRIPT

• October 2005 - the term “Library 2.0” coined
• By January 2006 - 62 views and 7 definitions were collected. These include, Library 2.0 is: – not about technology– all about technology– a new name for ideas librarians have been discussing for
quite some time– means making your library’s space (virtual and physical)
more interactive, collaborative and driven by community needs
– a more intensive way of sharing all the resources that the library already offers

• Later hearing about some ‘mature’ technology happening in our libraries – we’ve been talking about this for years now
• Work out where to put our energy, what to fight for
• YouTube currently the most-blocked site – what if we want to use it to share training videos?
• Facebook – what’s the point? But I love my igoogle, and think that zoho has real potential

• Personal reflections:
– Integration of journals with CIAP / more seamless full text integration (eg DOIs, WebCite)
– Integration of OPACs with mainstream search engines
– Integration of Amazon etc with OPACs
– Tic toc project for journal TOCs
