This session will cover the basics of using social software in health libraries. A number of web 2.0 trends and tools will be discussed such as RSS feeds, blogs, podcasts, social networking, social bookmarking, customized search engines and wikis. The pros/cons and application of social software tools within the context of health librarianship will be outlined in a session that will cover discussion of trends, research, case study and hands-on exercises. A course wiki will include handouts and links to relevant research and backround reading.
