Library2.0 goes global
2:20 PM EST 2/18/08
Even in the midst of the current discussions about [url http://www.blyberg.net/2008/01/17/library-20-debased/ ]Library2.0 "debased[/url]," many libraries are putting Web 2.0 tools to work --and not just in the US. The [url http://library20.ning.com/ ]Library 2.0 group[/url] on ning links to a handful of like-minded groups in Europe:
--Dutch group: http://bibliotheek20.ning.com/
--Italian group: http://biblioteca20.ning.com/
--French group: http://bibliotheques.ning.com/
--Portuguese group: http://bibliotecarios20.ning.com/
--German group: http://bibliothek20.ning.com/
--Turkish group: http://library20.ning.com/group/librariansinturkey

I just learned from Pilar Pacheco, one of the insighful guest moderators from the [url forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1871&tstart=0 ]Public Access Computing Around the World[/url] discussion, that the BiblioRedes project in Chile is getting started with implementing social networking tools. Exciting!

I would like to hear about experiences with Web 2.0 in libraries outside of our borders. It will help us all figure out which of these newfangled tools really enhance library service.
