Welcome to the classroom for Web 2.0! This is a graduate-level course taught in Spring 2010 for the School of Library and Information Science at San Jose State University. All of the work for the course will take place on this site, which is running Drupal 6. For more on this course and what it covers, visit the Greensheet.
I've posted the names of the project managers on this page of the wiki. There were three volunteers and I picked the other three at random. Just remember that the project manager shouldn't actually be doing more work than the other members of the group. In addition to taking on a part of the project, they will be focused on providing leadership and making sure that the project gets done in a timely manner (so they should take on a somewhat smaller role in actually developing the deliverables).
This week, we will be looking at the creation of video content online, including vodcasting and screencasting. These have become increasingly popular outreach tools in libraries, so it's definitely a good idea to be well-versed in their use.
Vodcasting
The New York Public Library (NYPL) is reaching out to patrons online and creates an example to follow.
Initially I was so excited by the online presence of other libraries that we have studied so far, that I wanted to critique an example of one that I felt was doing everything right. However, I realized that a better use of my analysis would be to review my local library to see what they are doing right, and where they can improve.
Introduction
I was impressed with the Brooklyn Public Library’s blog that we looked at in Week 3. I saw they had a Twitter account and thought they would probably have an interesting online presence.
