There is nothing quite like a group of smart people getting together to help the creative juices. Thanks for the comments Christopher.

This is probably the best discussion and needed clarification of social software I’ve seen. Beyond concrete examples of social software/tool best practices and less successful implementations, this savvy and well-versed group cuts through the hype of the ‘implement it now’ buzz and gets to why (and when) we should implement social software. Conceptual gems abound in this session, and I found myself stopping and reviewing many segments. Broadly paraphrasing: I was especially impressed with the discussions of the “network effect”, “Creating transparency”, “creating user ownership”, “Librarians becoming knowledge management consultants”, and “facilitating communities by focusing on what our users need, not on what we need”. Bravo! I’m going to use this episode as a guideline for my library’s coming Drupal site implementation. I’m thinking of a prominent Facebook widget, user feedback blog, and an “ask the librarian” research/homework blog/knowledge base. Thanks for pointing this Library 2.0 gang episode out.
