Keep Up! Blogs, Wikis and RSS
Register for upcoming sessions of this course
Course description
You've heard the buzz about blogs, wikis and RSS, but how can they be effectively used in your library? Should they be? Do you have the technology, tools, or even the time to implement these collaborative communication tools in your organization? Learn what's involved with blogging, wikis and RSS feeds from both the technology and human resources side of the equation. Learn how to decide whether a blog or a wiki would be a more effective solution.
We'll take a look at examples of good library blogs and wikis, and maybe even a few bad examples. We'll discuss what makes them fall into each category, and how you can avoid falling into the latter. We'll discuss where RSS fits into the picture with each of these technologies, and how you can leverage RSS feeds to keep your patrons and staff up to date, even if they don't use a feed reader (and we'll talk about those as well). No technical expertise is necessary to learn about these technologies, and very little to implement them.
Perfect for
Frontline staff who may be implementing and working with the technologies on a regular basis, and for managers who may be responsible for developing policies around the tools.
What you will learn
* A brief history and theory behind each of these technologies
* Which ones are appropriate for which types of tasks
* Pros and Cons of each technology
* What is needed to implement blogs, wikis and RSS
