Web 2.0 and Library 2.0: Competing in a Google World
9th August 2006

CAVAL Training and SirsiDynix are proud to present Stephen Abram - Vice President of Innovation, SirsiDynix and author of the influential library technology blog Stephen's Lighthouse.
Web 2.0 and Library 2.0: Competing in a Google World
We've reached a new tipping point. After years of working on technology and buildings in libraries, we're returning to strategies where the programs and services focused on the user dominate. But the user has changed - a lot! As the co-author of the May 1, 2004 Library Journal cover story "Born with a Chip", Stephen Abram has been following the Millennial generation and their unique behaviours and information seeking skills for many years. Combine this trend with the current global Web 2.0 conversation about the next generation of the Web and we see a great challenge. What are the skills and competencies that Librarian 2.0 will need? Libraries may not thrive if we don't adapt our strategies and programs to the Google generation and create the future services to empower them to excel. Stephen will share the key trends as well as his ideas and strategies for connecting with our communities. Come and hear what Library 2.0 could mean to you.
