Description of program

This course is designed to encourage health information professionals to use Web 2.0 tools in teaching and outreach activities in their institution. The course assumes that participants have working knowledge of Web 2.0 tools, such as social bookmarking (e.g. Flickr, del.icio.us), blogs, wikis, etc. The instructors will provide examples and hands-on activities that demonstrate how these tools can be used to facilitate the research process, specifically, searching, collaborating, organizing and publishing.
