Transformative Sharing with Instant Messaging, Wikis, Interactive Maps, and Flickr
Chase, Darren
Computers in Libraries, v27 n1 p7-8, 52-54, 56 Jan 2007
Smart librarians have always valued their relationships with users and other librarians. The creative force of those relationships is empowered via Web-based social networking, collaboration, and sharing. At Stony Brook University Health Sciences Library in New York, students, faculty, clinicians, and residents expect the latest refinements in technology to use and share information. To meet the ever-changing needs of the users at Stony Brook University Health Sciences Library, the author relates how he developed an instant messaging reference service, implemented an interactive directions map, created a Flickr image bank, and built a wiki intranet for the library.
