What is "Web 2.0" and how does it affect the academic library? How have new initiatives in digital publishing and social networking created opportunities and challenges for us as information professionals? How are changes in scholarly communication impacting our library collections and electronic resources? This conference will explore the emerging collaborative and interactive Web tools and the role they play on today's campuses. We will explore the new realm of Cyberculture and how academic institutions and libraries are helping shape it. We will also look at the changing needs and expectations of faculty and students, and how libraries are reinventing their online services such as online tutorials, instant messaging, blogging, RSS feeds, tagging, new search tools, and other new communications tools. Our keynote speakers: Dr. David Silver David Silver is an assistant professor of media studies at the University of San Francisco where he teaches Introduction to Media Studies, Digital Journalism, and Digital Literacy.
