Web 2.0: How to Teach the Public about Social Software

Fresno County Public Library Tuesday, October 9

There is a lot of buzz in the library press about Web 2.0 and its
impact on libraries. The California State Library believes that Web
2.0 has tremendous transformational potential, perhaps second only to
the introduction of the Internet itself. In recognition of the
importance of Web 2.0, the State Library has made a special grant
award to Infopeople for a series of free training events titled
"Moving Libraries Forward to Web 2.0". The following workshop is part
of the Web 2.0 series.

Workshop Description: Web 2.0 makes some people nervous; privacy,
safety, attribution, authority and standards are major issues. In
this all day, hands-on session, we'll cover fielding challenging
questions specific to Web 2.0, and focus on best practices for
designing workshops that address the specific needs of adult
learners. Group discussion and hands-on exercises will help you
develop the skills and handouts to better help your users understand
the ins and outs of Web 2.0 concepts and applications.
