Investigative Exercise 2 Slideshare

The slideshow I have selected from Slideshare is Social Software in Academic Libraries.  As is evidenced by the title, it is about the use of Web 2.0 in academic libraries, however it can be viewed in context with all libraries or even to a degree all workplaces.  It covers the wide range of uses of Web 2.0 for libraries such as:

• Media sharing.
• Wikis.
• Social networking.
• Social bookmarking.
• Blogs.
• IM.
• Second Life.

Being a slideshow its not something that can be read like normal, since its purpose would have been to act as a backdrop for a live preshe basic presentation.  However someone knowledgeable on Web 2.0 could use this to train library staff, and the numerous examples of Web 2.0 shown in this slideshow can provide staff with an understanding of its uses in a library environment.
