Social Computing Tools for Learning and Knowledge Sharing
Social coputing is having a huge impact on the sharing of knowledge and resources in all types of organizations. The social tools (blogs, wikis, social tagging, social networks, etc.) are much different than traditional knowlege sharing tools and are being adapted very quickly to put knowledge sharing power in the hands of the users. See slides from the presentations at our joint program in Milan at the IFLA 2009 conference with the Information Technolog and Library & Research Services for Parliaments sections. It featured practitioners from different types of libraries who shared stories of the new types of knowledge sharing in their more fluid networked organizations and with their more social media savvy clients. They talked about the different tools, their impact on knowledge sharing in libraries and other information intensive organizations, and good practices for libraries. The session highlighted some of the newest social computing and networking tools especially mutlilingual ones, illustrated their use in different types of libraries, provided lots of tips and techniques. The slides from the presenations below are here.
