The bubbl.us mindmap I created includes ideas I hope to be able to put into practice in Trevithick Library, Cardiff University. I have created a few main aims where web 2.0 tools would be useful including: spreading awareness for students and stff, information literacy, and advertising by sponsors. In terms of spreading awareness for students, I thought that creating a blog for the library would help add a personal touch to the service we provide at the Library. On the blog, I could talk about all that goes on behind the scenes or when we have acquired new resources, for example. We could use twitter to tweet about events and use twitter polls to gain feedback. Also part of spreading awareness is displaying QR codes on the plasma screen in the library could promote our newly created Trevithick Library blog or twitter page, thereby encouraging mobile technologies as well. Staff would benefit from using google calendar to prioritze task and events.
We could promote information literacy by embedding youtube videos into our blog on 'citing references', for example. We could also embed slideshare presentations on avoiding plagarism. Finally, on twitter, we could retweet tweets from our sponsors to promote career development campaigns and competitions.
