Use of Web 2.0 - archives

Dilemmas:Lack of knowledge about the web 2.0
Web 2.0 informal natureWasting time and effort for results which might
not be satisfactory
Advantages:
Bigger recognition
Different ways of promoting our activities, our holdings
etc.
Crowdsourcing is very helpful
Better communication with users
Contents
FB pages of archives and other cultural institutions
Conclusions
Web 2.0 used mainly as a means of promotion
Cultural institutions mostly use Facebook
The culture of social networking and harvesting the users‘
knowledge still has to develop
We still have some reservations, but if we don‘t try, we will never
know how web 2.0 can benefit our work.
Thank you for your attention.
