Information Sharing
Some interesting experiments in sharing information using Web 2.0 tools:
1. Twitter
Examples:
a. How do I keep current using Web of Science database? http://bit.ly/t1fZN5:13 PM Jul 13th from web
b. New blog post: What is Scifinder Scholar? How do I access it? http://bit.ly/rL21c
c. Where can I find statistical data for my research project? http://bit.ly/40itNH
d. Devices@FDA - Catalog of Cleared and Approved Medical Devices http://bit.ly/1ahCNT

The Library-Smart House partnership seeks to design and implement a sustainable, virtual environment for collaboration that will seamlessly integrate project communication and information access. This virtual environment will provide a means for increased collaboration between students, faculty, librarians and outside contributors as well as ensure the sustainability of the project in coming years. This collaboration produces a wide array of student information needs and presents a unique opportunity for library collaboration.
