Making Web 2.0 Work for
Your Institution (For Free)
It is all well and good to talk about
Web 2.0, but how does it really work? In this interactive
session, four teams will demonstrate how you can harness the
power of widely available free software to improve the way
your institution manages data and communicates with your audience.
Two teams will make your collections meaningful by taking
a data set and building mashups. Two teams will use social
tools to energize your membership and audience. All four teams
will show their unique approaches to the challenges and will
pull back the curtain on the nuts and bolts of building and
communicating Web 2.0 applications. You will leave understanding
how these tools work, what it takes to make them useful, and
how you can start working with them–today. Come and
experience the behind the scenes of the buzzwords.

Session 3 – Identity
and Collaboration
Increasingly, museums and libraries are working with
peer institutions to develop broad networks of cultural
heritage institutions, i.e. sharing access to collections,
research, etc. What issues are impeding collaboration? Can
collaboration actually harm institutions by disrupting identity/branding
or upsetting the cohesiveness of a collection? Further,
at a time when budget cuts are a major issue for public
institutions, partnering with corporations or technology
firms may be a good option – but what happens when
the line between public and private entities blur?

Services and University Librarian, Columbia University
