Web 2.0 and the library

by billso on Tuesday, 3 April 2007

My IS 6100 stu­dents con­tinue work on their Paper 3 assign­ments. I’ve found an arti­cle in Wired that describes how Web 2.0 ser­vices are com­ing to library research.

Web 2.0 is the gen­eral name for ser­vices like RSS, Ajax and oth­ers that extend the tra­di­tional web server-client rela­tion­ship. Learn­ing 2.0 is a site that explores how users can become life­long learn­ers, by using com­pan­ion sites like like 23 Things.

Grad­u­ate stu­dents learn how to learn. The MBA degree is one way to develop life­long learn­ing skills that are suit­able for orga­ni­za­tions. MSIS stu­dents also learn how to develop orga­ni­za­tional, man­age­r­ial and tech­ni­cal skills through­out their careers.
