The Web 2.0 technologies were all very interesting. We did something similar to this topic in our library system a few years ago. I didn't have time to finish it at that time. This was a great refresher for me on these technologies. I have used Delicious and LibraryThing recently at work. These two tool have been very helpful for getting my work assignments.
I have been really getting involved with Facebook. Facebook is a great networking tool for college and work. You can even send out last minute questions on your assignments on Facebook and see if anybody can help with the question.
Communication is very important in the role of a librarian. In many cases, we need to do our own PR for our programs. Web 2.0 technologies are very useful for pushing these programs, especially for teens. We are in the process of creating our first teen Facebook site for our library system. We use texting for sending reminders to our registered teens. Librarians must keep up with the latest technologies or become obsolete.
