High-Tech Tools for the Library Media Center: The Future from a Low-Tech Point of View
Fuller, Daniel; Achtermann, Doug; McLeod, Cathy
Educational Media and Technology Yearbook
Change and technology seem to be synonymous with the library media center. The Web 2.0 tools such as blogs, wikis, RSS, podcasts, and social tagging change the dynamic from a passive collection of resources to an interactive relationship with learners. The authors propose a trajectory to describe the relationship of libraries to the interactive tools from the pre-Internet to the post Internet future. Library 2.0 tools are defined and discussed with suggestions for practical use. The concept of digital natives is examined in the context of support for student learning and the implications for user interactions with traditional content to create new information and knowledge. To assist educators to embrace and understand the tools, a del.icio.us link to all tools and examples is provided.
