The Read/Write Web: Social Software and Libraries

The Read/Write Web: Social Software and Libraries: "The web continues to evolve, and whether you call it the read/write web, web 2.0, or web-as-platform - it is increasingly interactive, collaborative, and driven by user needs. However, the buzz words are not as important as the profound changes in communication that they are attempting to describe. In this four week online course, we will explore social software and the implications of the read/write web for libraries. This will be done through a combination of readings, discussion, and hands-on exercises" - January 1-31, 2008 - Online course
