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.

2.0 Is Hard

Before the beginning of the semester, I had some assumptions that I have since had to reevaluate, if not set aside completely. I assumed I knew quite a lot about social software and its potential in libraries. I spent a lot of 2009 researching the subject as I helped our library set up a Facebook page and then build its website using Wordpress. And, hey, I was already on Facebook, Twitter, and Flickr, and I had already subscribed to a ton of blog feeds through Google Reader.

Looking for an internship?

1. How has your view of social software changed since starting the course?

I don't think my general attitude toward social software has changed. I started out considering it useful and even game-changing. It's far easier to network and stay in touch with friends and acquaintances now than it's ever been before. I've fallen out of touch with old college friends and former co-workers that I would have stayed in touch with given today's social software.

In summary, more inspired than surprised.

You know, what I've been most surprised by in this class is the potential of Web 2.0 technologies. It's not that I didn't use them before, even think highly of them before, but I didn't realize what could really be accomplished over the Web. I guess it's an issue of both delving deeper, and also seeing first hand some prime examples.

1. How has your view of social software changed since starting the course?  I have a clearer understanding of how to implement in a library setting.  they buy-in you need to have, the importance of rules and policy, the commitment, not trying to do it all, the prototyping method.  Before, I just thought my library's management was just moving too slow (which they are) but I also see the need of having a plan and objective. 
 

I'm gonna miss you guys!

I do hope that we all can keep in touch, be it on Facebook, Twitter, or email. This has been such a great, inspiring class and I look forward to hearing about all the great things you all will be doing! If anyone has occasion to visit L.A., please stop by UCLA to see me!

Best wishes to everyone, for a wonderful summer and a fulfilling career!
