Question: Is Biblioteca 2.0 different from Library 2.0?

http.//www.incite.ptJulio Anjos

http://blog.bib20.com

4

of course Library 2.0 is trans-national

Library 2.0

Existsand is needed

to serve

Patron 2.0

“Patron 2.0”

def: He/She who is better served by the library with Web 2.0 tools

• So: – Library 2.0 is unavoidable wherever Web 2.0

is a common user experience and worldvision

professionals. Some full LIS blogging experiments in full swing.

L's 2.0 @ Portugal

• 2007 September– EBLIDA-EUCLID’s Librarian@2010

meeting in Lisbon• Incidentaly it’s US ALA’s Keith Michael

Fiels who, among Rectors and Deans of several important Europen Universities, defends a faster integration of web 2.0 tools on the LIS curriculum and contitnuing education programs

18

WAIT!!!

Is the urgency of adoption of the L's 2.0 attitude different beetwen

Europe and US?

http.//www.incite.ptJulio Anjos

http://blog.bib20.com

19

I believe not

I believe that “Patron 2.0” is ubiquitous and depends on the penetration of

internet in the society

http.//www.incite.ptJulio Anjos

http://blog.bib20.com

20

!!! However !!!

The urgency is the same but the speed of adoption is not

http.//www.incite.ptJulio Anjos

21

Proof?

• The School Librarian’s training in Portugal during 2007 was focused on Web 2.0 tools

• Result?– From the 46 LIS portuguese blogs

(with activity in the last 1 month)16 are School Library Blogs

– 33%

What’s Missing

• Professional Association Guidance

– APBAD (ALA equivalent): a single one-week after-hours training in Lisbon in 2005.

– APBAD: After the April congress no further action or position

– No action or position known from the APDIS (MLA equivalent)

– Full support from INCITE (SLA equivalent) but the smaller association

http.//www.incite.ptJulio Anjos

http://blog.bib20.com

46

What’s Missing

• Updated Continued Training– Most practitioners think Library 2.0, and

sometimes even Web 2.0, is just Blogs– Lots of confusion on the CTDI’07 meeting

when wikis and podcasts declared web 2.0 tools

– INCITE will organize a localized version of 23things during the 2nd quarter 2008, open to practiotioners, LIS students, LIS teachers, etc (affiliation with INCITE not a requirement)

http.//www.incite.ptJulio Anjos

http://blog.bib20.com

47

What’s missing

• LIS curricula– At the undergraduate level the students are

forcing the matter:• Oporto Polytechnic Institute • Oporto University

– Not so on the other undergraduate LIS degrees. But they have 1.0 curricula

– At Master’s level, strangely, it’s the archivists who are more active with 2.0 tools

Conclusion

• Although it is possible to point at least one portuguese example of almost every “Best Practice” imaginable…

• Usually there is ONLY ONE example

• In some aspects Portugal is behind every other Latin Country

http.//www.incite.ptJulio Anjos

49

Conclusion

The need for Library 2.0, – due to the ubiquity of Patron 2.0,

• a consequence of the ubiquity of Web 2.0

is the same in – every developed country – every type of library / information service
