The revamped Lib 2.0 now focuses on the awareness of, and practical uses for next-generation library tools which take advantage of Web 2.0 technologies. These include social networking tools, social tagging software, digital library systems, institutional repositories, subject repositories, federated search tools, and next generation OPACS. Group membership includes any librarians and library workers who are interested in keeping up with current trends in Web 2.0 technology and its potential impact on libraries. This group welcomes members of varying levels of technological expertise and comfort levels.

Library 2.0 SIG Meeting: Using Social Web tools for Library Statistics and Assessment

The social web offers a number of ways to gather more data than ever – bitly, twitter, facebook, google analytics, (etc.) all offer potentially rich-data about who is using our resources (and where and when)

Join us for a discussion of  new, creative ways to use/analyze those statistics in order to update library services, workflows, acquisitions, hours, job descriptions, internal communications,  responsibilities, etc.

We will explore together how we might be successful in demonstrating the value of our libraries or our library’s services from the data mined using social-web tools.
