Ellyssa Kroski, Reference Librarian at Columbia University, has just come out with a fantastic article on using Web 2.0 for academic libraries. The Social Tools of Web 2.0: Opportunities for Academic Libraries explores the social tools of Web 2.0 and their potential applications for academic libraries by focusing on four main types:(1) Content Collaboration (wikis and online office applications)
(2) Social Bookmarking (Connotea, Del.icio.us)
(3) Media Sharing (Youtube, Yahoo! Video)
(4) Social Networking (Facebook, MySpace)
Take a look! It's well worth the read.
