Web 2.0 course at EAHIL Dublin

Right now, I'm at the EAHIL (European Association of Health Information Libraries) Workshop in Dublin. On Tuesday, I taught a Web 2.0 course here - it was held in one of the libraries at Trinity College Dublin - very cool :-)

I think it went well. I might have rambled a bit, but it's easy to do when talking about web 2.0 tools and apps, especially Twitter which I have a particular fondness for as of late. Some of the issues raised by people in my course that I thought were of interest:

• How does one have time to use all of this web 2.o stuff? - good point. I say use as much as little as you like and ONLY what benefits you.
• What about security? - good point, not everyone should "tweet" everything their org or company is doing!
• What if you are behind an annoying firewall or intranet that won't even LET you use these tools? - I have no answer there. Become friends with the IT folks!

The presentations are here if you're interested.
