Expectations for MLIS 7505

For MLIS 7505, I am expecting how the use of web 2.0 can benefit libraries.  I have had my blog set up for 3 years, and Twitter account for 3 years as well.  However, I have not had an opportunity to use them regularly.  I am really excited we are required to actively use these resources in our class, and look forward to having discussions on how libraries can effectively use web 2.0 tools to stay a viable source in the age of technology.

Background and Knowledge on Web 2.0

I have quite an extensive background with Web 2.0 tools.  Prior to becoming a librarian, I taught computer technology to K-8 students.  This was right when Web 2.0 tools were emerging in society.  I attended many trainings and implemented Web 2.0 tools to my curriculum.  Due to the ease and availability, I have also carried Web 2.0 tools over to the library setting as they provide great use to customers.
