Web 2.0 Technologies and Public Libraries
Article Title: Web 2.0 Technologies and Public Libraries
Online Source: Thoughts of a [wannabe] librarian
URL: http://thoughtsofawannabelibrarian.wordpress.com/2009/07/07/web-2-0-technologies-and-public-
libraries/
Abstract of the Article:
Web 2.0 technologies provide the library users an option to engage in the library service without actually going there, but instead via the digital world. However, the following are the challenges in web 2.0 application in libraries:
· Social networking, social bookmarking and other tools rise and fall over a quick period of time.
· Financing the trainings of the staff on web 2.0 tools only to find out that what they have trained for
has been faced out or is being used rarely.
· The financial issue over using a web tool for the library which may be defunct over a period of time
without accomplishing the very tasks it was created for.
· Immediate benefits versus financial costs of updating different web 2.0 technologies.
Three things I learned from my RA:
· Properly weigh the pros and cons before incorporating any web 2.0 tools in the library
· Be informed on the current technology trends applicable in the library
· Be open minded and choose the technology tool which will best suit the library
Implication to me as a person:
· Not every ¨in¨ things that we encounter shall provide us with our desired effect.

Article Title: What is Digital Ethics?
Online Source: Cable in the Classroom
URL: http://www.ciconline.org/whatisdigitalethics
Abstract of the Article:
The utilization of digital media can either be for good or bad. There are ways in order to avoid digital misuse specifically by the children, first, restrict the use of media, and second, teach the proper use of digital resources. The latter approach which is considered to be proactive is where the following: media literacy and digital ethics are considered. According to the article written in the Cable in the Classroom (July 2009) media literacy teaches kids how to think about media so they build their ability to analyze, evaluate and create media. On the other hand, digital ethics teaches behaviors that help students while using digital media. They learn how to be: ethical, courteous, safe, and productive. In addition, digital ethics, also known as cyberethics or cybercitizenship is defined as “a code of safe and responsible behavior for the internet community” by the U.S. Department of Justice. The practice of digital ethics pertains to: (1) proper use of digital media, and (2) respect to one’s privacy and property.
Three things I learned from my RA:
The concept of digital ethics and media literacy.
Ways to avoid digital media misuse.
Use the digital media properly.
Implication to me as a person:
I need to be more careful and responsible in using the internet and other digital resources.
