Thing 1: Welcome & Read About the Program

The first entry of the UCI Libraries Web 2.0 program.

From "UCI Libraries Learning 2.0 Program"
"Building on the Public Services summer series of brown bag discussions, "Continuing the Conversation about Libraries and Librarians in a Web 2.0 World.," the Public Services and Collections Divisions are sponsoring a program, UCI Libraries’ List of 10 Things or So, for staff to learn more about emerging technologies on the web that are changing the way people and libraries access information and communicate with each other.

Beginning November 1, 2007, and over the course of the next twelve weeks, this website will highlight “10 Things or So” with Discovery Exercises to help you become familiar with blogging, RSS news feeds, tagging, wikis, online applications, and video and image hosting sites. The Welcome: Getting Started and Blogging Exercise will be posted on November 1, 2007; other exercises will be added each week."


The UCI Learning 2.0 team developed learning objectives for each exercise so that participants will have a clear understanding of what they are expected to learn by completing the exercise.
The design of this online program was completely built on Web 2.0 technologies that are freely available on the Internet.
