Teaching Matters: Developing as a Teacher/Librarian. Web 2.0: Opportunities for Information Literacy Instruction

Abstract

Increasingly, libraries are implementing collaborative tools into their Web sites and online catalogs. Instructional librarians can use these platforms as testing grounds to learn about tagging, blogs, RSS feeds, and more. The next steps require collaboration with teaching faculty, using appropriate Web 2.0 tools to enhance learning and encourage the sharing of ideas in specific contexts, such as courses, new student orientations and academic programs.
