Some Preliminary Thoughts Web2.0 requires us to think about how we interact with our users – greater chance for communication, collaborations Need for greater trust (radical trust) Change in our roles – are we still the “gatekeepers”? How can we draw our users in? Ypulse Youth marketing to teens, tweens and Gen-Y Ypulse K-12 educators are increasingly interested in Web2.0 They have some fabulous uses of Web2.0 technologies Implications for public libraries

Preliminary Thoughts II There is a whole, different generation of computer users Millennials: “Born with the Chip” – describes behaviour of Millennials “Born with the Chip” How can we support these users with their information needs? Young students’ perceptions of privacy often differ from the adults in their life Can we play a role in helping them learn about these issues?

Some Things to Consider It’s a time investment: you need to keep it current! Doesn’t have to be one person who updates it; everyone can participate Know your audience and market to them: “if you build it, they might not come” http://blogwithoutalibrary.net/talk/blogu/marketingtentips.ppt http://blogwithoutalibrary.net/talk/blogu/marketingtentips.ppt Add links to your blog from the library website, or your institution’s home page, etc. Have the most recent posts and/or comments appear on library home page Word of mouth; posters, flyers, etc.

Some Things to Consider II Allow commenting This allows you to engage, but do you need to monitor what is being posted? Need for moderation? Changes the power dynamic between library staff and users – change in library role: gate keeper How do we measure success?
