Week 14: Final Thoughts
Since I spent all of my effort last week reflecting on my personal experiences with social software, my impressions of the types we covered in this class, their applicability and usefulness with regard to the library, as well as best practices for libraries that wish to implement some of these tools, I will limit my musings this week to a final reflection of the course itself.
Week 13: Reflection on Social Software Tools and Best Practices
Reflection on the Semester and Web 2.0
As the end of the semester draws near, it makes sense for us to take pause, reflect over the topics covered and the ideas discussed throughout the semester and to draw some final conclusions about social software in general, in relation to our personal use and opinions, as well as its place and use in a library environment.

Week 10: Social Networking Online
Social Networking Online: The Hot Topics
As social networking sites are (arguably) the most well-known of the web 2.0 tools, we understandably had a wide spectrum of articles and topics this week. I tried to select a few articles that looked like they might touch on the most prevelant of concerns or issues about social networking online in order to be able to explore a wider variety and be able to think about the implications of a variety within a library environment.

Until next week...
Week 7: Social bookmarking and tagging
First Impressions and Eventual Realizations
Week 6: Wikis
This week is the first where I actually feel on familiar territory as I have had some experience with wikis in the past. One MLIS project included building a web page for an imaginary library that included a wiki. However, it has been a while since that course, so I found Amanda's 'try it out' wiki page a very useful refresher. Because I have had experience with the technical whys and hows of wikis, I think I will jump right to the articles that discuss the implications and myriad uses of wikis in the library/knowledge/information management world.
