Implementing Library 2.0 in the Academic Library setting

Welcome to this blog created to demonstrate competencies for Information Storage and Retrieval, a graduate Library and Information Science course through Texas Woman's University, Denton, TX.

Posts on this blog will be organized around course-required competencies, and the focus will be on ways in which characteristics of Library 2.0 can enhance theory and practice within an academic (post-secondary) setting. I welcome your responses and feed-back through this dynamic process.

Competency 7: Multimedia

For Competency 7 we share some form of multimedia (audio, video, graphics, etc) that reflects the twin topics of the blog.

I found a perfect fit, again*, for a multimedia file that focuses on Library 2.0 and the place it has in the academic library. Appropriately enough, this concept map was created by Michael Habib, a grad student in the SILS (School of Information and Library Science) program at UNC-Chapel Hill during the last semester of his graduate work.

I particularly like Michael's visual approach to understanding the various facets of influence in both the virtual and the physical spheres of academic libraries and the innovations of Library 2.0. The URL for his blog and the site of the original posting is given below.

*... which begs the question if we librarian bloggers are merely proliferating our thoughts for our own benefit. Is anyone beyond the bibliosphere in on this discussion?
