Web 2.0 Untangled: Reaching & Teaching our users with new
technologies, Wed 24 November 2010
2.
3. Scientists are using Web 2.0 to
communicate, collaborate and
promote openness of research
practices and data
4. They’re not building new sites or
online applications, but are
appropriating already-existing
technologies.
5. The online tools they use enable
them to practice open science – the
ability to publish data and
communicate with broad audiences
are key.
6. The Republic of Letters
Via: http://republicofletters.stanford.edu/#maps Visualizing the Republic of
Letters, Stanford University project with data from the Bodleian Electronic
Enlightenment project, and others.
25. Why use these technologies?
- Fast
- Networked
- Informal
- Open
- Global
26. Conclusions
Scientists are working online, appropriating
existing tools for their specific needs, and
finding and joining ad-hoc networks to share
data and knowledge.
What might this mean for librarians?
- Be flexible too – there is proof that these
free solutions are working, so no need for
big infrastructure investments
- Find these networks and join them to find
out what’s going on – to be part of it you
need to participate
