Abstract
Blogs, wikis, listservs, forums, social networking and other new exciting technologies provide for unprecedented possibilities for collaboration, preservation and dissemination of information. These have been traditional roles for libraries but now, more and more enthusiasts are developing their own personal corner of the information commons.
As the debate on how the “Web 2.0” will impact our profession rages on, some institutions are exploring the possibilities inherent in these technologies. This session presents these concepts through concrete examples and to provide insight on how they can be used to retain patrons, restructure services and regenerate libraries into entities that engage their communities.
Conference session given on Friday May 25th 2007 at the Canadian Library Association (CLA), Atlantic Provinces Library Association (APLA) and Newfoundland and Labrador Library Association (NLLA) National Conference and Trade Show in St-John's, Newfoundland (Canada).
