Swamp web
- 1. Web 2 Oh-Oh! Swansea Libraries first tentative steps
- 2. Web 2.0 Cloud tag 2007 Author: Markus Angermeier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/file:web_2.0_map.svg
- 3. The term " Web 2.0 " is commonly associated with web applications that facilitate interactive information sharing, interoperability, user-centered design, and collaboration on the World Wide Web. A Web 2.0 site gives its users the free choice to interact or collaborate with each other in a social media dialogue as creators of user-generated content in a virtual community, in contrast to websites where users are limited to the passive viewing of content that was created for them.
- 4. A term used to describe a new generation of Web services and applications with an increasing emphasis on human collaboration. www.headland.co.uk/pages/glossary Examples of Web 2.0 applications include social-networking sites, blogs, wikis, video-sharing sites. Swansea has chosen as it’s preferred platforms the following :
- 7. Blog – over 10,000 visits in 3.5 years. Chatty, not really targeted, strong personal “character”. Challenges – constant blocking of Blogger in corporate network. Difficulty in not tiring of writing content, finding something fresh to say. Limited feedback.
- 10. Facebook – Gorseinon, Central, Gowerton, Penlan. Mainly events promotion. Challenges – can’t get user engagement as no pre-moderation available. Needs to be updated frequently to have impact.
- 16. Twitter – Paige Librarian. Spin off from blog. Strong personal character, mainly involved in professional discussion and chats with other librarians. 240+ followers Twitter – DiscoverMore. Mostly events promotion, few information posts. 340+ followers. Must be updated constantly. Can get instant feedback. Challenges -Twitter users or “twitterati” like to be active – very savvy to just being talked at, would like conversation
- 19. Good practice (Twitter): @Talesofonecity – Edinburgh public libraries @leedslibraries @OrkneyLibrary – legendary Good practice (Facebook): http://www.facebook.com/EdinburghCityLibraries http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rotherham-Library-and-Information-Service/52373997763?ref=mf
- 21. Flikr – photo sharing e.g. Plymouth libraries and Newcastle libraries: http://www.flickr.com/photos/plymouthlibraries/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/newcastlelibraries
- 25. Our biggest challenge so far? … .and today you can meet the star!
- 26. You Tube examples http://www.youtube.com/talesofonecity http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkTm_j8v_Eo
- 27. What have we learnt?
- 28. Web 2.0 is not complicated The software is very easy to use but has limitations Anyone can do it Its FREE It requires some staff resource but so does a lot of other things we do Talk nicely to your IT people to gain access Do it anyway and apologise later (pick the one that works!) Not perfect – just starting to explore what is out there. Need to define audience, define message, encourage more interaction, crowd source more (get multiple content creators), converse rather than just communicate outwards…
- 29. Finally - why are we doing it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIFYPQjYhv8
- 31. Are we ready? Are you ready?
