  Reaching Out to Patrons with Social Tools and the Web
  <http://www.swonlibraries.org/viewevent?id=899>

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 Horton, Technology 
Coordinator at SWON Libraries, will show many examples of libraries 
already using these technologies to interact with patrons via the Web.
