Material Detail

Colorado Libraries 2.0 is a learning program to help library staff become familiar with Web 2.0 tools. This is Colorado's version of "23 Things" and is intended to support Colorado libraries in implementing their own Web 2.0 training program.

The program is designed in modules associated with categories of tools. Tools included: blogs, instant messaging, Twitter, wikis, Google Docs, Flickr, YouTube, RSS, Google Reader, iGoogle, Doodle, PDFOnline, Jing and Google Calendar.

Additional modules will be available in early 2010, covering social networking, social bookmarking, readers' advisory, and virutal worlds.

Information on each Web 2.0 tool is organized in the following way:

- An overview of the category

- The What – A description of a Web 2.0 tool wihtin the category

- The Why – Examples of the tool’s relevance to libraries

- The How – An exercise using the tool and opportunity to reflect on the tool

- More for the Curious – Similar tools to the one highlighted in The What, articles or other relevant links

Colorado Libraries 2.0 was created by "Reach – Leading Learning in Libraries" – a group of library staff members committed to sharing continuing education opportunities with others.
