Vendors keep the party going with Web 2.0
By Carol Tenopir, Gayle Baker, & Jill E. Grogg
Social networking and other Web 2.0 technologies led the social whirl of the information industry. Publishers and librarians tried to keep their products and services relevant by mixing authoritative content with user involvement, but that wasn't enough. Enhancing interfaces, adding new forms of content, and making strategic acquisitions—all are necessary to ensure that the information industry party continues.
The question is, to what extent can a one person library keep up to date and then leverage this stuff into providing a better library service for their clients? This is something I'm still wondering about, and part of the answer is, I think, providing a spotting service for new things and providing links and education for my clients.
