  Reaching Out to Patrons with Social Tools and the Web
  <http://www.swonlibraries.org/viewevent?id=898>

The web is no longer just a conduit for one-way communication; it has 
evolved into a platform for collaboration and building communities. 
Online social tools are the building blocks of Web 2.0 and libraries are 
already using them to effectively reach out to patrons.

Join us for a hands-on demonstration and discussion about blogs, RSS, 
wikis, podcasting, folksonomies, instant messaging, and other social 
tools that your patrons are already using. Glen will show many examples 
of libraries already using these technologies to interact with patrons 
via the Web.
