Question of the Week: Getting buy-in for library 2.0 tools?
November 1st, 2007 | Permalink | 4 Comments

I just returned from my first Internet Librarian conference where I had a number of lovely chats over coffee and meals with new library friends. I really enjoyed these conversations, as they served as a great way to reflect on all the rich conference sessions and to brainstorm a bit together. This question came up a number of times and so on behalf of my new friends, I thought I’d make it a “Question of the Week“: After exploring new social software tools (and seeing how they can help you better serve your community) how do you go about getting buy-in from your managers, colleagues and communities? How do you advocate for social software tools?

How are you answering the questions: Why should we have a blog? Why should we have a staff wiki? What proof do you have that it’s worth our time?

I took a look around WJ to see where this question has come up and so here are a few places to get your juices flowing:
Social Software discussions
Steve Campion’s recent article addresses convincing the right people.

Wouldn’t it be great to hear particularly from directors and other decision makers about what convinced them that these tools can help libraries? Looking forward to your tips and talking points…my friends thank you!

There’s a new “Question of the Week” feature in our Community Section. Think of this as the megaphone for the good questions coming into the discussion boards. If you’ve got a question you want to ask the entire WebJunction community or you see a good question coming in, please post it in the Question of the Week topic.

This week’s question comes from member ms.lameane: “Does anyone provide programs especially for teen parents?” There are some good suggestions there already, but please share your ideas!
