What is Web 2.0?
  • Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning
    all connected devices Web 2.0 applications are
    those that make the most of the intrinsic
    advantages of that platform delivering software
    as a continually-updated service that gets better
    the more people use it, consuming and remixing
    data from multiple sources, including individual
    users, while providing their own data and
    services in a form that allows remixing by
    others, creating network effects through an
    architecture of participation, and going beyond
    the page metaphor of Web 1.0 to deliver rich user
    experiences.
  • Tim OReilly

What is Web 2.0?
  • User generated and/or user influenced content
  • Applications that use the Web (versus the
    desktop) as a platform
  • Similar visual design and shared functional
    languages
  • Leveraging of popular trends, including blogging,
    social tagging, wikis, and peer-to-peer sharing
  • Inclusion of web technologies like RSS, AJAX,
    APIs (and accompanying mash-ups), etc.
  • Open source or sharable/editable frameworks in
    the form of user-oriented create your own APIs

Blogs and Blogging
7
What is a Blog?
  • An online journal. (http//matra.sourceforge.net/m
    isc/glossary.php)
  • Blog is short for weblog. A weblog is a journal
    (or newsletter) that is frequently updated and
    intended for general public consumption. Blogs
    generally represent the personality of the author
    or the Web site. (http//www.bytowninternet.com/gl
    ossary)
  • The word blog is derived from the combination of
    the two words, web and log. Blogs are virtual
    diaries created by individuals and stored on the
    Internet. Blogs generally consist of text and
    images and can appear in a calendar type format.
    (http//www.netalert.net.au/01990-Glossary.asp)
  • A Web site that contains dated entries in reverse
    chronological order (most recent first) about a
    particular topic. Functioning as an online
    journal, blogs can be written by one person or a
    group of contributors. Entries contain commentary
    and links to other Web sites, and images as well
    as a search facility may also be included.

What is a Wiki?
  • A website or similar online resource which allows

  • Online collaboration model and tool that allows
    any user to edit some content of webpages through
    a simple browser. (http//mobileman.projects.supsi
    .ch/glossary.html)
  • A wiki is a web application that allows users to
    add content, as on an Internet forum, but also
    allows anyone to edit the content. Wiki also
    refers to the collaborative software used to
    create such a website. (http//en.wikipedia.org/wi

What is Social Bookmarking?
  • Social bookmarking is an activity performed over
    a computer network that allows users to save and

What is Social Networking?
  • The personal or professional set of relationships
    between individuals. Social networks represent
    both a collection of ties between people and the
    strength of those ties. Often used as a measure
    of social connectedness, recognising social
    networks assists in determining how information
    moves throughout groups, and how trust can be
    established and fostered. (http//www.parliament.v
    ic.gov.au/sarc/E-Democracy/Final_Report/Glossary.h
    tm)
  • Refers to structural characteristics such as
    proximity to others, frequency of social contact
    and the type of relationship (eg spouse,
    confidant, relative, friend, group).
    (http//www.therubins.com/geninfo/Definit.htm)
  • A web of interconnected people who directly or
    indirectly interact with or influence the student
    and family. May include but is not limited to
    family, teachers and other school staff, friends,
    neighbors, community contacts, and professional
    support. (http//rrtcpbs.fmhi.usf.edu/rrtcpbsweb/g
    lossary.htm)
  • A social network is a map of the relationships
    between individuals, indicating the ways in which
    they are connected through various social
    familiarities ranging from casual acquaintance to
    close familial bonds. The term was first coined
    in 1954 by J. A. Barnes (in Class and Committees
    in a Norwegian Island Parish, "Human Relations").

Podcasting
31
What is Podcasting?
  • A form of audio blogging created by Adam Curry, a
    former MTV Host, and Dave Winer, the founder of
    Userland Software. Its name comes from the
    targeting of audio posts to Apples iPod audio
    player, although podcasts can be listened to on
    competing players and on computers.
    (http//www.fzelders.nl/weblog/)
  • Podcasting, a portmanteau of Apple's "iPod" and
    "broadcasting", is a method of publishing files
    to the Internet, allowing users to subscribe to a
    feed and receive new files automatically by
    subscription, usually at no cost. It first became
    popular in late 2004, used largely for audio
    files. (http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podcast)

RSS
36
What is RSS?
  • A format used to syndicate news and the content
    of news-like sites. Includes major news sites
    like Wired, news-oriented community sites and
    personal weblogs. (http//www.mvcc.edu/library/glo
    ssary.html)
  • Rich Site Summary / Really Simple Syndication is
    a medthod to syndicate your site content. This is
    done by creating an XML document which summarizes
    specific site content such as news, blog posts or
    comments and forum threads. (http//www.pr3.co.uk/
    seo/seo-glossary.php)
  • RSS is a protocol, an application of XML, that
    provides an open method of syndicating and
    aggregating Web content. Using RSS files, you can
    create a data feed that supplies headlines,
    links, and article summaries from your Web site.
    Users can have constantly updated content from
    web sites delivered to them via a news
    aggregator, a piece of software specifically
    tailored to receive these types of feeds.

Library 2.0 APIs
  • An application-programming interface (API) is a
    set of programming instructions and standards for
    accessing a Web-based software application or Web
    tool. A software company releases its API to the
    public so that other software developers can
    design products that are powered by its service.
  • For example, Amazon.com released its API so that
    Web site developers could more easily access
    Amazon's product information. Using the Amazon
    API, a third party Web site can post direct links
    to Amazon products with updated prices and an
    option to "buy now."
  • An API is a software-to-software interface, not a
    user interface. With APIs, applications talk to
    each other without any user knowledge or
    intervention. When you buy movie tickets online
    and enter your credit card information, the movie
    ticket Web site uses an API to send your credit
    card information to a remote application that
    verifies whether your information is correct.
    Once payment is confirmed, the remote application
    sends a response back to the movie ticket Web
    site saying it's OK to issue the tickets.

Library 2.0 Next-Generation Catalogs
44
What is a Next-Generation Catalog?
  • The emergence of the web has led to the
    development of many models for searching a
    database. And, while there are still many
    approaches, a few "standards" have emerged.
    Regardless of what product they offer, successful
    websites
  • give the patron a simple search interface that
    allows the user to enter vague, broad, and simple
    searches
  • allow the patron to drill down through the large
    result list, narrowing it down by whatever
    criteria they choose, until it is as precise as
    they want
  • sort the results list so that the most relevant
    items are at the top of the list
  • are tolerant of misspellings and unusual word
    choices in the patron's search
  • Traditional library catalogs do not fare well
    when compared to this list. Next-generation
    catalogs give patrons the same tools they already
    enjoy on websites like Amazon and Google. Since
    library databases are generally built according
    to standards like MARC, they are usually
    ILS-agnostic and will work with a wide variety of
    systems.

    create extensive databases with the resource
    developed and expanded by its users.

52
Okay. Just one more and were done
  • XML (Extensible Markup Language) A system for
    sharing complex data structures and documents
    across multiple platforms. It is used to encode
    documents and serialize data with users able to
    define their own tags. It is the basis of the
    feeds and syndication that are driving web 2.0
    content distribution.

    for great ideas and information for all types of
    librarians. All over the world, librarians are
    developing successful programs and doing
    innovative things with technology that no one
    outside of their library knows about. There are
    lots of great blogs out there sharing information
    about the profession, but there is no one place
    where all of this information is collected and
    organized. That's what we're trying to do.
