‘Oi! Get off our train’ – Web 2:0 our future, their space – Discuss

Web 2:0 technologies open up a wealth of possibilities and could hold the secret to the next generation of library services. Web 2:0 is predominantly considered the social space of the young and could be the key to engagement with that generation, however, the more Web 2:0 technologies are adopted by the establishment the more they seem to lose their appeal. If this is a conundrum you are battling with, our event is for you. Join us to learn more about the potential of Web 2:0, hear a student viewpoint and discuss the appropriateness of using Web 2:0 technologies to support learning and research.
