Another 2.0: Science 2.0
January 23, 2008 09:26 PM | GeneralMichael Scott, Assistant Director
I came across this interesting article from a posting on The Krafty Librarian, a blog by a medical librarian:Science 2.0: Great New Tool, or Great Risk?
Yes, even science is on the "2.0" bandwagon. The article is described as an experiment in "networked journalism" and readers are invited to collaborate with the author. This collaboration will hopefully lead to an article that is influenced by not only what the author set out to write but also what the reader(s) will contribute.
Though its focus is on science, there were points that I took from the article that I thought were applicable to us as librarians: the possibility of a richer dialog using Web 2.0 technologies and my personal favorite, using a wiki as a way to capture and update collaboratively "how-tos" that we all have in various forms, such as notebooks, file folders, a shared network directory, or even our heads.
