#11 Web 2 and The End

Kelly's PP presentation is excellent, and makes even better reading this time round, after all these 18 things. Plus it's so quick to load - no moving pictures!

Interesting to see where SLV sits on David Lee King's 'ripples graph' - on both 4, experimenting and playing, & 5, evolving the web site with customer participation, and well on the way to community engagement. Bring on federated searching with as many of the web 2.0 bells and whistles as can be afforded, and are useful.

Great potential for SLV to adopt many aspects of these '18 things' and to do it with intelligence & discernment, as librarie have so often adopted and adapted new technologies in the past.

The End

Well done. I hope you are able to utilize some of these Web 2.0 technologies to assist you in your library operations in the future.

Doggone, Congratulations for finishing the program.
I agree libraries need to assess which applications will assist our patrons to better engage with our content and for us to engage with them.

Hey,
I reckon we roam about between 3 and 5 on the ripple graph, and sometimes intentions are at one point and action at another. But overall that's a good place to be.
And the next twelve months ought to be fun as we definitely jump through a ripple or two.
Cheers,
Kel
