 About the Book BACK TO TOP
Widespread use and acceptance of the World Wide Web in the home and office has eclipsed many other technological advances. Next-generation tools like Web 2.0 sit on the cutting edge of profound changes that will—and have already begun to—transform librarianship. Medical Librarian 2.0 is a vital resource for understanding and implementing these revolutionary technologies. The essays in this groundbreaking collection offer a comprehensive look at the potential uses and effects of Web 2.0 in reference services.

Designed not only as an examination of current technology but as a resource for practical applications as well, Medical Librarian 2.0 is both comprehensive and accessible. This important collection includes informative, in-depth essays that cover the evolving spectrum of digital resources. Through detailed explorations of current tools and programs, as well as the ways institutions have implemented them to better serve both patrons and staff, this text provides the insight and necessary awareness required for libraries to flourish in the 21st century.

Contributors to Medical Librarian 2.0 discuss:
  • the tools and applications shaping Web 2.0

With a wealth of tables, diagrams, webpage illustrations, online resources, photographs, and references, Medical Librarian 2.0 offers readers clear examples of these applications put into practice.
