Simon Verlag für Bibliothekswissen, 2012. Paperback. New Book. Paperback. Ronald Kaiser presents a short pocket guide to using web tools in the context of library services. The book is organized into three sections. The first examines the emergence of "library 2.0" in the age of the Internet. The second and largest section focuses on common web services--blogs, wikis, web feeds, and podcasts--defining each, exploring their application in library settings and on the Internet, and production considerations. Most of these chapters also have an expert interview on these tools. The final section considers what's supposed to come after information technologies. There is no index. Some parts of the book are in German. (2012 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR)
