BOOK REVIEW How to use Web 2.0 in your library by Phil Bradley Facet Publishing, 2007. ISBN: 978-85604-607-7 £39.95
"Web 2.0 is a ubiquitous term - but what is it and how can it be used? This new book from Phil Bradley provides a library view on a subject which is reaching into many activities - not only into social interaction but into academic practice, teaching, learning & research ... Librarians and information professionals in any sector (especially those with little or no knowledge of Web 2.0) will benefit from this insight into how Web 2.0 technologies might facilitate work practices and provision of services."
