The project explored whether social software, or Web 2.0 technologies, could enhance  distance learners&#8217; experience of libraries. LASSIE also undertook five case-studies to explore in more detail: social software and reading lists; social bookmarking and libraries; podcasting and information literacy; blogging; and Facebook and libraries. It concluded that social software might be best utilized to enhance information literacy support for distance learners.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3059\/2780800214_fb05abf772_m.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><br \/>\nWater jousting, Meze, France<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.metapress.com\/content\/77qxr36271369p47\/\">http:\/\/www.metapress.com\/content\/77qxr36271369p47\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve just come across Jane Secker&#8217;s article in Serials 21(2) July 2008 p112-115.
