Workshop Description
Online and On-Demand! If you missed the October 2009 web seminar, register here, and for two months you can access this 90-minute multimedia recording any time you choose!
Not sure about what all these Web 2.0 tools—like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and YouTube—are all about? This session will give you familiarity with Web 2.0 tools used by archivists, and you’ll see how these tools are implemented by archives and similar organizations for outreach!
Topics covered:
- Definition and overview of “Web 2.0”
- Review of Web 2.0 Tools—what they are, what it takes to use them, and what how archives are using them (with examples):
- Blogs
- Twitter
- Podcasting
- Flickr (image-sharing)
- YouTube (video-sharing)
- Wikis
- Social networking (Facebook)
- Social bookmarking
- Brief overview of online chat, mashups, widgets, and Second Life
- Conclusion—pros and cons of using Web 2.0 tools
Who should register? Archivists unfamiliar with or just starting to explore Web 2.0 tools to enhance their organizations’ outreach efforts.
Ask your colleagues, students, or staff to join you in learning together over lunch or breakfast – in the convenience of your conference room, office, or classroom. Gather around a PC and a speaker phone, call in or email your questions, and get information and tools that will help you to adapt your skills to fit the digital environment.
