Welcome to HRRL's Learning 2.0 program & blog

Chances are if you've found your way here you're either:

• A member of HRRL's staff or one of our member Libraries who's participating in the Learning 2.0 Challenge.

• Interested in learning about and playing around (yes, playing is allowed in libraries) with some new web 2.0 tools that will help you expand your information literacy toolbox.

Either way… I'm glad you're here!! Learning 2.0 is an online learning program that encourages staff to learn more about emerging technologies on the web that are changing the way people, society and libraries access information and communicate with each other.

Over the course of the next eight and a half weeks, this website will highlight 22 Things and discovery exercises to help staff become familiar with blogging, RSS news feeds, tagging, wikis, podcasting, online applications, and video and image hosting sites.To familiarize yourself with this project, be sure to read the About page.

The FAQs should answer most of your questions about this program. If not, then please add your question to the FAQs page as a comment.

So fasten your seat belts, grab your mouse and get ready for a discovery adventure… and remember, it's OK to play in the library and have fun!
